Go Native 70 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Just wondering how many fellow SJ'ers will be there? Pretty big contingent of Niseko people will be heading down for the game. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Tempted by it if i can get away for the inevitable drinking session. î—ƒ Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Papa and a group from Perth, as well as their mate from the east who tee-d up the tix will be there. 3 will be in Niseko in Dec/Jan (maybe 4), and one is an ex-Tokyo resident (Aussie birth) - plus a few ring ins.

That was an excellent game. Watched that from The Denman bar in Thredbo. Was awfully funny sitting with a Kiwi - we had lots of fun with him....unfortunately he may get to repay the kindness in Tokyo - but lets hope not. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 now that would be an extra incentive to show the world that you are champions. Instead of letting a lesser side shit on you. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 where will it be played? why have they decided to host it in Japan this year? Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 ok, so who's playing again? Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The Bok's wont be there. The Bledisloe cup is only played between Australia and NZ. I doubt it will be a great match given the Kiwi's current domination over Australia. Playing it in Tokyo is a good move. Put some badly needed interest into the game.

Jynxx 4 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Agreed. The Japanese love the All Blacks in a very big way (next to their own) I once worked with the NHK covering world cup in NZ. One of the best jobs I did, basically got paid watching the game. One of the commentators could do the Haka ! which was entertaining to all ... Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well...I am all lonely over here in Perth now. Papa is on his way to Tokyo for the Cup. Hope you all have a fantastic time! Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Was planning to go up for the game but other things got in the way. Regretting now cos I won't be able to watch it on TV even, not on J-sports just Wow-Wow I think. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm starting to get pretty excited about it now. Haven't seen a game live in a long time and I haven't even been to Tokyo for about 4 years! Link to post Share on other sites
