Rugby coming to USA
 

Posted this in the regional forum but may be people from other parts that are interested in going.

Our New Zealand rugby team (and current world champs) the All Blacks are going to be playing the USA team, The Eagles, in Chicago at Soldier Field on 1st November 2014.

A pretty cool youtube advert for it is here

So, if you're into sport get along - even if you've never watched rubgy before. It's only about the third time EVER the All Blacks have played in USA.

Pre-registration for tickets at www.USAvAllBlacks.com

all blacks (they aren't really all black) are the bees knees!

I might actually consider going to the game. Know what it would cost for a good seat?

No idea but I know they want it to be a sellout so imagine the tickets will be priced accordingly.

My wife and I are already discussing it. Last saw the ABs in Wellington in 2003 vs England.

Money on All blacks takin' it.

Dat Haka no joke though~

Wellington is where I live. Going to a Super 15 rugby game tonight at the same stadium you would have been at in 2003.

Watching the Hurricanes (Wellington region) vs The Highlanders (Otago region). should be fun.

The ABs should win by about 30 at least.

This is like USA taking us on in Gridiron, Basketball or Baseball although the USA team is a million times better than it was ten years ago and keeps getting better mainly due to your colleges playing it a bit more I think.

Your rugby sevens team has had some great results.

Cool.

I have done contract work (IT) at Transpower, NZ Police, and WCC. Love NZ.

Hurricanes lost by two points dammit. Fun night though. See you back here one day maybe.
