Perspective from Japan on whaling and whale meat, a spot of gourmet news, and monthly updates of whale meat stockpile statistics

The All Blacks

What a top game of Rugby it was last week! Definitely one of the best so far this century with the lead changing five times, and even when the All Blacks finally snuck back into the lead you didn't know that the persistent Jarpies wouldn't score a breath taking run away try in the final minutes... thankfully the All Blacks held them out though, and put one hand on the Tri Nations trophy with only a injury ridden and broken Australia having only pride to play for - even a victory would still see them come dead last, but of course we know the Australian's would love nothing more than to see us lose on home soil.

The other question is which Haka will the All Blacks pull out tomorrow?
I've been showing the people at work and emailing to some Japanese friends the haka videos from http://www.allblacks.com and they enjoyed it quite a bit,
Kapa o Pango seems a little more scary than Ka mate, which seems a little plain in comparison, and Tana Umaga reminded me of the orcs from Lord of the Rings (what a great performance! he has a movie career after rugby).
