My daddy and me went to the rugby on Saturday night and it was lots of fun because their was bright lites evrywhere My favorite team is North Harbour. Daddy says that they were a realy good team back in the mid-1990s where old-fashioned people used to live. They wore funny clothes and painted there faeces and cheered because North Harbour scored lots of tries by men called things like Frank Buns and Walter Little. That's a funny name for a big rugby player. There was even one of the mens from the olden days playing on Saturday. He was called Blare Larsen. Daddy says he was a All Black once and then he went to Japan and got lots of money. Daddy sweared at him on Saturday. He used bad words like 'fucking' and 'shit' and not bad words like 'lardy-arsed waste of space' but he bought me a hot dog if I promised not to tell Mummy about the bad ones so I didn't.

Daddy used bad words most wen Auckland scored there trys. They were very good trys even though they made me feel sad. There first won was realy good because after we through there man the ball in the lineout he had to run three metres through this very wide gap to score. There third one was the most exelent cause after our player put the ball on the ground all there players pushed our players out of the way and picked it up and gave it to another one of there guys and he had to run 12 metres to score. Daddy used more bad words like "gaping fucking chasm" but I didn't understand some of them, I just think they sound like bad ones.

Daddy told his frend that in the newspaper last week a man called .Rusel Jones said he was very unhapy because of we lost last week to a team that is'nt very good. Then Daddy said bad words about Rusel. He dose'nt think Rusel should help the team any more. I told Daddy that he was being mean about Rusel but he had another drink out of the plastic cup and gave me some money so I could "stick a hotdog in my fucking mouth". I knowed that was a bad word but I like hotdogs. Daddy said that our player with the number 12 jumper played realy well even though he did'nt no his name. He said that he was up against Sam Tuitupou but the spellcheck in my computor says his name is tiptop because theres no such word as Tuitupou. Daddy says Sam was the only good player in the Auckland team apart from Xavier Rush. But I think he mite be joking about Xavier Rush.

The best part of the night was the crowd. It was very big and Daddy said it would get our team lots of money. He reckoned that North Shore people are always realy good at supporting our teams. Then he had another drink in the plastic cup and said more bad words and through his cup at a brown man with a blue scarf.

Then we went to the hopspitil in the ambulance and then Mum picked us up.
