Thanks All Blacks

Thank you Graham Henry and all the All Black team for winning the Rugby World Cup 2011.  You have inspired so many young and young at heart New Zealanders and made us all proud. 

Who knows, maybe one day our dreams might come true...

Rugby World Cup 2011

It was Graham Henry!  He said "Sonny Bill Williams is injured!"  Can you take his place?" I was so excited. I asked " can you tell me all the player's names?" He said "yes" so he told me"Ma'a Nonu, Jerome Kaino, Piri Weepu, Richie McCaw, Brad Thorn, Israel Dagg, John Afoa...  JK

We won the Rugby World Cup 2011

In the morning I woke up and then, the phone rang. I picked it up and it was Graham Henry.  He said "Chloe I know you're busy but tonight I need you to come to Eden Park because Dan Carter is injured! "I said" OK I'll be there at 8:00 thank you so much". "You're welcome" Graham Henry said.   I am number 10...     CWR

RCW THE WINNING TEAM  - THE ALL BLACKS

At  training I  gave a tip for kicking.  Piri Weepu got the penalty goal and Tony Woodcock got the first goal.  I gave him a super high five. Piri Weepu did not get the drop kick.   The crowd went wild they did the mexican wave.

I thought it was grandma and grandad. I picked the phone up and said ''Hello Anna speaking". 
"Hello this is Grahm Henry from the All Blacks team.  Dan Carter has had an injury in his leg and I need you to be the kicker for the All Blacks.
''WOW! Me, really really me? Yes" I shouted.  I nearly fainted I ran down the stairs and ate my
breakfast (really really) fast. I ran down to my car but Oh no! My car broke down so I had to ride my bike down there.  It took ten minutes to get there because I rushed. When I got there I saw the All Blacks. I saw my favourite rugby player Richie Macaw.  He had a little trouble with his running.  Because he had a little sore leg. I said if you have a sore leg then you can run on your tippy toes so you can spring up and run faster.
After one week the rugby world cup final, the All Blacks VS France was on.  , In the dressing room I felt very proud but, at the same time I kept on saying to myself we are going to win!  The horn rang so we had a huddle...  AS

I pushed my chair out picked the phone up and said "Hello Tanna speaking ".  The person on  the phone said "Hello Graham Henry speaking.  I said "Graham Henry?"  "Yes it is".  I was enormously nervous. I said "ah ah ah how can help you"  Well" he said, "Dan Carter hurt himself in training and I need you to replace him" he also said "What do you say would you help me?"  I stood there for a second and gulped, I was thinking should I do it or not.  I ran upstairs got my rugby gear on and got in the car and went to Eden Park to train for the Big night.  It was very hard work, but it was worth it.  It took 3 whole days to finish training.  Finally it was time for the HUGE night to begin.  I took a deep breath in held it for a while and let it out.  The  All Blacks were versing France.  The All Blacks won with 8 points and France lost with 7.  New Zealand won the golden yellow Web Ellis trophy.  We are the champions!!!!!!We are the champions no time for loosers cos we are the campions of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH.WOOHOO .  TC

It was Graham Henry. He asked if I can help the All Blacks with their kicking.  I screamed "OKAY!" So I got dressed in my special All Blacks shirt.  I got on my bike and rode to the practice grounds where all the teams practise.  I saw Russia, Italy, Australia, Fiji and South Africa.  Then I saw the All Blacks practising their running skills.  I saw my favourite All Blacks player Richie McCaw.  He was practising his kicks.  I helped Dan Carter because he couldn't kick the ball over the posts.  Then I told him to step back, run up and kick, then he got it over the posts.  Then they went to their last game.  They were versing Tonga.  At the end the All Blacks won.  The score was 41-10.  The All Blacks have to win this game because if they win they get the Webb Ellis Cup.  They are versing France.  Today the All Blacks are versing France and I'm going to the game.  When I got there I felt nervous because I don't know who is going to win the Rugby World Cup.  France kicked the ball, Sonny Bill caught the ball.  The French defenders came charging at Sonny Bill and WHACK!  Sonny Bill got hit to the floor.   I said "oh no Sonny Bill is injured".  The couch called me to play for the All Blacks.  CD

Finally, it's back in our hands.

With intense interest all of us in Room 19 followed the rugby.  We talked about the different teams - South Africa, Fiji, Russia and especially the All Blacks. 
We are all so proud of our All Blacks.  We also know with Determination - our current value, and hard work you can achieve anything.
