Well, I'm interested! Thank you for the pictures, they provide a rare and
close insight into the very special relation there is between the ABs and
the people of NZ. But if you ask me how I feel about it ... I'd say I'd have
prefered to see the cup held by ... you know who!Congratulations, the ABs
are - have always been - wonderful rugby players!Jean-Michel> From: john at
