Hi Neighbours
If you are going to the All Blacks game tonight, could someone please record the half time performance for me? My daughter and her roopu are performing and I would love to have a recording of their performance as they never show the half time performance on tv.

If you are going to the All Blacks game tonight, could someone please record the half time performance for me? My daughter and her roopu are performing and I would love to have a recording of their performance as they never show the half time performance on tv.
I would be so happy to be able to see it as my son and I cannot attend.
Thanks so much neighbours
A very proud mama, please message me if you can.

Maybe we have been overrated so that expectations and hype have not come to fruition.
At Tokyo 3 years ago we won 20 medals covering 11 sports. There is no way we are going ro match this in Paris. Our .most gold at an Olympics has been 8 with 7 at Tokyo 2021.
The French have done an amazing job with these Olympics. The opening ceremony was outstanding and truly unique. The crowds have turned up - and how with 75000 daily watching the track &field and at a different stadium over 65000 daily in the stands for the rugby. The Tower has been an inspirational focal point and the standatds in the sports to date apart from skateboarding has been higher than ever before despite lack of world records esp in swimming. The shallow watered pool has been partially blamed for this.
The French are not perfect however and the incredible barring of a great and celebrated athlete from competing in the semt final of the 100m women will never be forgotten.

Well he got the wrong city let alone the wrong suburb.
Of course the ABs have been camped in Heretaunga most of the week at the Sports Institute.
Maybe also the AB selectors got it wrong. Thousands more would have attended the match this Saturday if local star Billy Proctor had been slotted in at centre.
