Around The World In 80 Waves

New Zealand reminds me so much of Wales. Like at home the people are very friendly and I seem to be greeted with Good Mornings and Hellos everywhere I go.

The geography is also so similar to that of North Wales. The fauna and flora may be different but the colours and textures of the geography are identical.

Half the country is devoid of people, but wherever you do stop you will always see rugby posts rather than football pitches at the sports grounds in all the little towns.

All of which means that it is all the more baffling that Wales cannot seem to beat the All Blacks. There are just another 15 blokes after all. Wales have a good team at the moment and their scalp will inevitably come, but I don’t think we are playing them this autumn, which I will put down to the New Zealand boys running scared!
