The rugby-crazed nation

Rugby World Cup 2007 count down, Auckland

This is a huge billboard in downtown Auckland. As you know New Zealand is a rugby-mad nation, housing the world number one All Blacks. So it is no surprise that the kiwis are all excitingly anticipating to the counting down of Rugby World Cup 2007 (photo taken in January 2007). The billboard you see here has been there since last year, counting down the minutes to the first game of RWC at France in September. The RWC comes every 4 years, and guess what? Auckland, New Zealand has been chosen to host the next RWC, in 2011! Imagine what buzz it’d bring then. The nation already cannot wait!
