It was a rare weekend of sport for me. Saturday night watched the rugby and the netball, a double-header of NZ vs. arch-rivals Australia in our two top sports. And we won both of them, which was very nice indeed. Although the rugby was a classic example of the thing that frustrates me most about the game – lots of intense football is played, but the points are all scored when someone makes a mistake and allows a penalty kick. And the netball’s edge-of-seat finish was a confusing mess, due entirely to the way netball does its scorekeeping and timekeeping.
\nAnd today went in to watch the NZ vs Venezuala basketball international. Some good stuff there as well, and I was very glad I went along.
