Our last & final adventure in New Zealand was to watch a rugby union game at AMI Stadium in Christchurch.
We missed the kick-off of the game between The Canterbury Crusaders were the local team and they were playing the Blues.
We had no idea what the rules were or how the game is played, but these guys are tough!
By this point in the trip, I was exhausted and burned out with the camera- I just took my small P&S and only got a few shots of the game.
Every worthwhile game has a band & music section.
They even had cheerleaders like we do at football games.
It was neat to see the neighborhood kids playing their own games out in the stadium rounds.
