Hi there,You have probably looked at the title of this particular post and turned up your nose. Fair enough too, the Rugby World Cup is something distinctly un-Let's hear it for the girls-ish. It's so hard not to get caught up in the hype though!
I guess you could say I am into rugby - in as much as I like sitting down with my Dad at home and watching him freak out, yelling instructions to the players and insulting the ref. But that's as far as it goes for me. On the opposite end of the scale, I have a close girlfriend who is totally rugby mad, she even has a rugby memorabilia room in her house. Each girl to their own of course, I know that there are heaps of awesome ladies really excited about the rugby!

It's a huge event and a great one for New Zealand. Being the patriot that I am, I am going to attempt to get excited about it, but in my own special way :)
I am very lucky to be hosting the parent's of one of the American players at my house over the time that they have their games in New Plymouth. I don't know a lot about the American team, so I decided to do a little digging to find out more about them. It's not that I am interested in player stats or how many international tests that they have played. It's a little embarrassing, but I am only really interested in how nice they look on the field. The USA Eagles are playing the Irish lads on Sunday, since I am now bias by association to the USA team, I started thinking about an appropriate outfit to wear to show my support....A red and white striped merino, paired back with some skinny denim jeans (blue of course), some black boots, a cosy jacket and perhaps a white hat, like a beret or cosy beanie would be the perfect outfit to wear to the rugby. Warm, stylish, chic and very Americano without being overly Uncle Sam. Check out this merino from Glassons. And this hat from one of my all time favourite websites Etsy.com.
Before anyone crucifies me for supporting any team other than the All Blacks, can I just say that I will be absolutely behind them 100%, like any other good Kiwi girl. Rugby is our national game and while I may not be able to explain the rules of a line-out, I can definitely appreciate the dedication and talent our boys have. Win or lose, I will still be proud of them.
With rugby royalty in town, it would be fair to say that us New Zealander's will be in the presence of some pretty famous faces. And their girlfriends! Check out some of the hot couples arriving on our shores. I bet these ladies can explain what a line-out is! It was nice to see our very own Dan Carter and his lady Honor in amongst the names.
Tomorrow is the big day, the kick off! There are huge parties happening all over the country and I hope to be at the New Plymouth one, being held at Puke Ariki. I might see you there!
