I know this might be a little out there for a wood working site but as we are a community of people with different interests I thought that I should post something.
I just wanted to voice my congratulation to the Australian Netball Team for their win in the final in the 2015 World Netball Championships.

It wasn't a huge win and it doesn't make up for getting absolutely pasted by the All Blacks at Eden Park.

Diamonds probably would have done a better job than the Wallabies :U

As a Kiwi, Im sure you are well aware of the advantage Eden Park offers the Blacks.I have played there many times myself. It makes little difference who the unfortunate visitors may be, they are stepping on sacred ground.
On the other hand, why any self respecting rugby nut would want to go to a place with such a lousy climate is beyond me. If dying of exposure is something that appeals, be my guest. It is the only place I have seen a rugby ball freeze! And blow?!
It would take the spots off a Dalmation:o

Yes I was born in New Zealand but Im actually a dual citizen of Australia and New Zealand. Since Ive spent more time living in Australia than NZ these days I barrack for the Wallabies and The Diamonds.
Sacred ground.......nonsense. If the All Blacks can manage to win at ANZ Stadium in Sydney then why can't the Wallabies win at Eden Park???

We are 15 degrees C at the moment. Auckland would be lucky to be doing double figures. I notice you picked the warmest place to draw your comparison. Typical Kiwi tactics - off your feet and hands in the ruck.:p

11 degrees right now in Auckland....2 degrees warmer than it is here in Adelaide right now (9.45pm Adelaide time/close to midnight in Auckland).
