Rugby here is huge, especially since they only have one national team [not like all our football teams]. But, I learned that the Kiwi fans support their team very differently than Americans. I don’t want this to sound bad- but they actually watch what is going on, and they care about every play. I went through the majority of my intense Metamora football fan career without really understanding what happened at the games. While the All Blacks are moving, no one talks. They don’t wave anything, yell, or anything… I really enjoyed watching the game, since it was fast moving and aggressive [in a good way].
Our group had great seats, and we were able to see all parts of the field. I decided to follow the motto, “Go big or go home” when planning my outfit. It consisted of black pants, black and white underwear on the outside of the pants, black top with the number 1o taped on the back, an All Blacks Hat, and a sign saying “Once You Go All Black, You Don’t Go Back.” Momma Yonker would have been proud. We also found face tattoos and face paint that completed the ensemble. I got a lot of looks, and a few people asked to take pictures of me, but we still didn’t attract enough attention to get on TV.
The All Blacks played really well- and we smashed the Wallabies.
It was pretty easy to tell that some people from my group have never experienced the Metamora football fan etiquette. I got a lot looks after yelling “Sack em’ and Take him down!” But, then they told me that they don’t really use the term “Sack”. Definitley did a little giggle after I realized that. Fun times.
Enjoy the pictures on Facebook, or shoot me an email if you want me to email you some!
