Rugby World Cup- Final Game. France VS New Zealand

Sunday the 23rd of October was the day all the Rugby fans had been waiting for. It was the Rugby Finals and the teams playing against each other were France and New Zealand. After a lot of hard work they were the only two teams which ended up together in the Cup Final.
People all over Auckland were already making their way to Eden park to watch the game. As for us who can't make it into the stadium, we made our way to the Auckland city Fan Zone. There were thousands of people that attended the game and also the Fan Zone too.

At last the time came, the NZ and French rugby players entered the field after the guy blew the horn. When it came to New Zealand's national Anthem, all of the All Blacks fans were singing with love and pride for their country,y even the French were singing on top of their voices for their country's national Anthem. After the Anthems the All Blacks got into their positions for the haka. Piri Weepu started the haka and was followed by the All Blacks. They were really fierce which gave me the creeps.

After the haka was the kick off. The All Blacks kicked the ball and fans all around were cheering. The start of the game was really challenging for both teams.Both of the teams had strong defence. Whenever the ball went near the try line you would see the rugby ball flying back to the middle of the field. Twenty to thirty minutes into the game Tony Woodcock scored the first try for the All Blacks. He took the ball from Jerome Kaino and ran through a narrow gap which he successfully scored the first try. All the All Blacks fan were jumping for joy . As for the French players they were not so happy but they didn't let that get into their way. They just kept on playing. Piri Weepu missed three out of three penalties for the All Blacks. After half time the French captain, Thierry Duasautoir got lucky and scored a try for the French team which left the eight points to New Zealand and seven points to France.Their fans were screaming and hugging each other. But I don't think the fans at Eden park were the loudest. The Fan Zone was swarming with the All Blacks fans and only a few of the French but still you can hear their chanting, " E le' le bleu" repeatedly.
They played on with lots of strength to stop the opposite team from scoring a try. But unfortunately the final whistle blew. The time was up. You can just see the disappointment in the France players' faces, some cried but after all they tried their best and they all played like good rugby players. As for the All Blacks they were ecstatic with joy.

Piri Weepu, Mils Muliaina and other All Blacks team players spoke to the cameraman about how relived they were about the game ending with them winning it. After that the French players assembled in the middle of the stand which was in the middle of the field to receive their silver medals including their coaches. After them was the All Blacks. They climbed the steps on to the stand and one by one they proudly received their gold medals. After the medal ceremony the All Blacks took photos and opened their champagne. It was a heart stopping moment for the whole country. Thierry Duasautoir said a few words about how privileged his team was for playing against the All Blacks. The night ended with lots of celebration and parties throughout the country.

I really loved the game it was an interesting and blood pumping moment which made me watched through the whole game without shutting an eye. My highlight of the game was the haka performed by the All Blacks.

Testing Week

When it comes to test week, I really don't like doing tests. Why? Well it's really simple, I always get nervous about the tests. My friends always tell me that I have to be relaxed and just concentrate more on what I'm doing because it will help me pass my grades so I can go to college and also get a good report card. I am improving. All thanks to my friends.

Mils Muliaina.

Malo everybody, today I am going to be my favourite All Blacks Rugby player who is also my idol, Mils Muliaina.

My name is actually Junior Muliaina but Mils is my nickname and it’s always been stuck with me wherever I go. Now I was born on the 31st of July 1980 and if you're probably wondering where I was born, well I was born on the beautiful island of Samoa. My parents , brothers and I moved to Invercargill when I was just three yrs old. I attended the Kelston Boys High School.
Now before I became an All Black, I attended Cargill High School then Southland Boys' High School, where I was offered a scholarship to Kelston Boys' High School in Auckland in 1998. Subsequently, I played for the NZ Secondary Schools XV, the team winning that year's world championship. I repeated this the following year with the World Champion Under 19 side, and in 2000 and 2001 was part of the World Champion Under 21 (NZ Colt) teams of those years.

Now you might probably be wondering how I came to be an All Blacks member. Well I was called in to be tested for the All Blacks . The test was a game against England on June 14, 2003 at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington. Later I got a call saying i was going to be part of the All Blacks squad at the 2003 Rugby World Cup. Well I was quite cheered up and ecstatic as well. I shared the news to my families and friends and they were surprised too. Above all that my career started from there and it has made me achieve great success and I am really thankful for that.

My favourite Subject


My Favorite subject is Writing. Why I like writing is because I really enjoy doing writing in my own time and during school hours too. I love writing stories and also writing letters to my teachers. When I write stories I sometimes get lost in the story. I like putting in interesting words to make my draft unique in some way so that other people might like it. In my letters, I write to them as though I am actually talking to them. I tell them about me and what I like doing in my own spare time. Surprisingly I get small gifts from my teachers which I'm thankful for.
