How does it feel to argue? Keep on reading then you will find out who was arguing.
It was Friday 9 September. At school we kept on arguing about the Rugby World Cup. All Blacks versus Tonga. No one knows who’s going to win. Some people were yelling “Tonga is going to win.” Some others yelled “All Blacks are going to win.” I went for the All Blacks.
That night my mum wanted to do something on the computer so she rang her sister and asked if she could go on their computer. They said “yes.”
When we got there it was so incredible because the game had started. My mum went upstairs quickly because nobody would want to miss the game. “Yay! The All Blacks got some points.” I thought Tonga would block the ball but they didn’t. About ten minutes after that we were hungry so we went to Dominoes Pizza. I went inside it smelt delicious. I saw the game. New Zealand scored again (it was Cory James). The All Blacks scored lots of times but Tonga scored two times. The All Blacks had 41 points and Tonga had 10.
So that means the All Blacks won! But at least Tonga tried their best. I think that Tonga will win when they play against Canada. It was a magnificent game!

RUGBY WORLD CUP 2011
Mmmmmm….. ice cream! We stopped to get some yummy, vanilla ice cream before heading over to Mt Wellington. Friday 9 September was a glorious night. I was so excited to get there but then….. WOW! It was packed by the time we turned on the road opposite McDonald’s. My family and I were so surprised because there was no parking at all for us. We finally got one. There was only one minute left before the fireworks. I started counting very, very, slowly all the way to ten. Then I walked to the edge of the mountainside and filmed the fireworks blooming, like little flowers on the first day of Spring. We were there to celebrate the first match of the Rugby World Cup 2011. I got all the footage of the fireworks and it was just in time, before we went home. I was tired and I soon fell asleep, hoping that the All Blacks would win against Tonga!
Beautiful Or What?
Seeing something soooo beautiful makes you feel amazed how smart people are. I felt like this at Eden Park, the stadium for the first rugby game in the World Cup. It was quite a sunny, warm Friday afternoon and we had just finished eating KFC when we remembered that it was the opening of Rugby World Cup 2011. The All Blacks were going to play against Tonga. I just wanted to watch the opening ceremony and the fireworks. The opening ceremony was so creative. New Zealanders are smart with their imaginations. I never saw something so beautiful. Next up was the fireworks. BOOM! BANG! The fireworks were so loud (like noise pollution). There was singing, dancing, cheering and don’t forget screaming. When the opening ceremony was finished it was time for the game. The first try went to the All Blacks. They kept on scoring. When Tonga scored the All Blacks got another magnificent try! Tonga tried their best to win. Both teams did spectacular work!
Now I can’t wait until Samoa and Wales play on the 18th September

WELCOMING THE WORLD
Most of the world stood still for one event. What could it be?
A sport? A race?
It was Friday, 9 September. My family was anxiously waiting for the start of Rugby World Cup 2011. We were eating dinner when I heard the TV One reporter saying “It’s going to be a spectacular opening ceremony.” I rushed to see if it was starting.
Then I saw a stadium filled with excited and anxious people. When the stadium lights were fading away there was a feeling of intensity. I could see flashes of the cameras and heard cheers echoing in the stadium. Then an oval shape in the middle of the rugby field was brightly lit up. A lady started to sing a Maori song and started to walk on top of the oval shaped screen. But what type was it? I distinctly remembered that I had seen it before. Then it struck me that it was a projector screen! I heard the TV One reporter say, “This is the biggest laser show ever brought to New Zealand.” As the ceremony continued the cheers of the crowd escalated. I was baffled about how many people had come to watch the start of the fabulous Rugby World Cup 2011. As we got to the end of the ceremony I was thinking “How are they going to end it?” because I knew that the mayor, Lenn Brown had officially opened the tournament. Then what happened next blew me AWAY. It was a fireworks extravaganza!
Watching the Rugby World Cup from home was different from watching it in the stadium but the feeling of excitement was still the same.

Being Scared
Have you ever been scared going on something that takes you around, like a bus? I have.
On Saturday, 10 September at 12:45pm my brother, dad and I went to the big screens in the city on a train which I was very “scared” to go on. When we passed the river MAN I was scared because it felt like the train was going to fall in the water. I asked my dad if the train was going to fall in the water. He said to me “Are you dreaming?” So I turned around and talked to my brother about it. When we got to the city I was happy to get off the train. We walked from the train station to the big screens. We waited and waited and waited until something came up on the screens that said “Tongan team in shed ten”. I ran like I was running to score a try on the rugby field and when I got to the shed I felt like I was going to faint. I saw the team and got them to sign my rugby T shirt and I got to take pictures with them. That was a day that cheered me up. The next day I felt sad because all the pictures from Saturday were deleted!
