Meeting the New Zealand Soccer Team...

Last night we were privileged to meet the New Zealand soccer team, also known as the 'All Whites'. Their name would have been nice and politically correct in South Africa 20 years ago!


I think everyone has been surprised by New Zealands performance, especially against Italy. How many people said Italy will win? Well, at least the Kiwis are doing better than the Aussies...


Below from left to right is: Chris Wood (Forward), Tim Brown (Midfielder), Rory Fallon (Stiker).
Ruth and I with Winston Reid (Defender).
Here we have Shane Smeltz (Striker), Mark Paston (Goalie) and Dave Mulligan (Midfielder) with a very proud Ruth!

I managed to win a New Zealand All White soccer jersey in a raffle on the night, which I promptly whipped around some of the players for their autographs!
