Nasoni and Kevin wrote these accounts of the opening match


The rugby world cup started on the 9th of September 2011 at Eden park in New Zealand.  the first match was Tonga vs NZ. The All Blacks played for New Zealand.  It was fun.
by Nasoni


On the 9th of September I saw the Rugby world cup 2011.  the All Blacks won by a lot.  The All Blacks scored 41, and Tonga had 10.  WOW!!!, New Zealand definitely won.  I never knew that could happen!!!!  I liked how they scored their points.

Leilani also wrote her thoughts before the World Cup started

There is a rugby world cup every four years.  This year it is 2011.  There are 20 countries in the world cup this year - Argentina, France, Namibia, Scotland, Australia, Georgia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Ireland, Romania, Tonga, England, Italy, Russia, USA, Fiji, Japan, Samoa and Wales.
My Dad has lots of flags.  He says that he is going to put them at the front of the house.  There are HUGE games in small parts of New Zealand. 
My Dad and brother really want to see some games. 
I don't!!!

The Rugby World Cup - this account of the World Cup was written before the opening last week by Shivaansh

On Friday the whole world will be watching the opening ceremony of the rugby world cup.  The main partners are Emirates, ANZ, Mastercard and Toshiba.  There are going to be 20 teams, 48 games, 4 pools and one winning team. 
Lucky me!  My family and I are going to Fiji vs Samoa at Eden Park.  I am going to support New Zealand and Fiji because my family comes from Fiji, and Indo-Fiji is my background, but I’m a Kiwi so go All Blacks!
At school I have been given team ‘Ireland’.  When I told my Dad he said, “Ireland is ranked 19th best team.”

Lots of people are travelling to New Zealand for the games.  There is a cool website for buying tickets and learning about the teams.  I love the new way of ending the International Olympics.  I mostly loved the Commonwealth Games Ending Ceremony in New Delhi, India.
I hope we win.  Here is a secret between you and me, the next rugby world cup games will be held in England and then Japan.
