blow-out, another boring entry

So my anticipation for the Rugby match between New South Wales Waratahs and the Pacific Islands (Fiji, Tonga, and Somoa) was much in vain. (it was Rugby Union style if you remember the questions from my previous postings) As the P. Islanders, were up 6 tries to nil with in the first 20 minutes of the match (score 42-0), the Waratahs did end up putting points on the board, but they were getting crushed, sixty something to 21. Needless to say, it was not the most thrilling contest to watch. I think the attendance was like 8,500 in a 40,000 seat arena so it was pretty quiet atmosphere. I think there are probably 8,000 Pacific Islanders in Sydney, and I'm pretty sure they were all at the game, as the overwhelming crowd support went to the Pacific Islanders. To the Waratah's defense, they had between 5 & 8 of their best players who are playing on the Wallabies (national team) right now, in fact the Wallabies are playing England Tonight, a rematch of the rugby world-cup title game, so that should be good...With a relatively un-exciting game, the attention drifted to for food and drink and in that arena, the corporate box was good. I think catering is a bonus at any sporting events. It did highlight an attracting point, in that there are not many pies in America (not the desert variety, but English style pie, sort of a meat & gravy filled crusted pie. I imagine a past would be the closest thing. But pies were basically the main item being served. I think America needs a pie shop, there is chain here in Manly and you get Broccoli potato, steak, Thai chicken, various curries, plus many, many more. It is often a stop of mine when I'm itching for a quick bite on the way home.
