Go The All Blacks!

By the roundabout on the State Highway at the entrance to Kerikeri, someone has built a tribute to the All Blacks, first for the Rugby World Cup Semi-Final match and now for the Final against France.

It's quite a masterpiece, consisting of seven stuffed possums and one stuffed rabbit, but as the opposition is France, there's a frog in a blender and one of the possums is eating a frog burger! Three of the "AB fans" are drinking Steinlager - a New Zealand lager, from special edition "classic" white cans, last seen around 25 years ago when the ABs last won the cup!

Finally, one of the possums has been spray-painted black, save for a number 7 proudly on his chest - Richie McCaw's number - the All Black captain!

Classy stuff!
