The Haka Kapa O Pango - A No Go!
Rugby Fever catches on as the XV de France advances by beating the much favored New Zealand All Blacks in a major upset, 20-18! No one would have given France a chance, in you know where, to end up victorious, especially when the All Blacks were leading by 13-0 in the first half; but les Bleus (the Blues) have come through and they now go on to face England next week who eliminated Australia in their match!
I guess the Haka just didn’t worka!

That’s a super impressive win for France. I haven’t followed Rugby since I left Australia but I know those Commonwealth countries pretty much dominate the sport and rarely lose to anyone else.

It was a major upset since the All Blacks were expected to go all the way, and it sure looked like they would in the first part of the game!
