A Nation rejoices

Against all the odds New Zealand won the rugby league World Cup final in Brisbane last night, beating hot favourites Australia 34-20 in a match finishing just before midnight New Zealand time.
We watched of course and seven hours later around breakfast time it’s Aston Villa and Manchester United live along with New Zealand’s rugby union team overcoming Wales, also live, on another channel. Only downside for the Kiwis is the cricket defeat by Australia in the first test, also in Brisbane.

Have I come all this way just to watch TV sports I could just as easily watch at home, I wonder as I idly flick channels. Surely the answer must be no - musn't it? Dave
