It was a bit of surreal experience sitting on a train trying to find out the rugby score for Scotland vs Australia on a signal that kept coming and going. And I wasn't alone. The whole of carriage C seemed to be glued to phones/tablets/computers and all of us seemed to be a minute or two behind the real time scores. When it was coming to the end we all looked at each other with grins, which rapidly turned to disbelief as the final score came in. A collective 'oh no!' and that was the end of the Northern Hemisphere's sojourn in a riveting World Cup.
I'm no expert here, but it felt like the ref's last minute decision was out of order and Scotland should've won. However, it was wonderful to see how well Scotland, complete underdogs, did today.
Ok, well that's now 'yesterday's news' and I can now put my full support behind the All Blacks without any compunction whatsoever.
C'mon New Zealand!
