RWC 2011 Kicks Off!


Hi Weka Class,

We will be using our blog site during the World Cup.

The first thing I would like you to do is to post a comment about your second team. Remember that this is the team you have chosen to follow (Not the All Blacks or France if you are Thomas).

Include some interesting facts you have gathered about the team or the country.
I would also like you to record the results from your teams matches and any statistics you can find.

Good Luck.

Mr Douglas.

  3. Hi weka

    After the failing to present any useable information on Scotland I have made the move to italy. 60,681,514 is the population of Italy, the capital city Rome. The currency is euro, and each area of Italy has its own unique style of pasta and cooking.

    And their uniform is blue for home and white for away.
    The end

    Bye.

    Hi Weka,
    My second team is New Zealand because my first team is France.
    Here are some facts about New Zealand:
    - In NZ there are almost 4.5 million people.
    - The capital city is Wellington but some people say also that Auckland is the economical capital.
    - NZ has lots of sheeps and is the only place where yo can find kiwi birds.
    - The last time New Zealand has hosted the RWC, and won it, was in 1987.
    - New Zealand is a nuclear free country and that's why people talk about Green NZ or Pure NZ.

  7. Giday weka class
    For the rugby would cup 2011 the team that I am going for is New Zealand and my second team (who I am going to talk about) is England.

    When they play they are usually wear a white uniform but they wear a black one when other teams are wearing the same colour as their normal uniform or they are close to being the same colour as their normal uniform. On their shirt is a red rose.
    They are ranked fifth in the world by the international Rugby board. The coach is Martin Johnson and their captain is Lewis Moody. Their top try scorer is Jonny Wilkinson. Rory Underwood scored the most tries.
    And there is also a guy named Dylan Hartley on the team and his position is hooker, there is also a guy named Richard Wigglesworth and he plays scrum-half and there is also a guy with my dads name called Mark Cueto and he plays wing.
    Their largest win England has had was against Romania and they won 134-0 (17 November 2001), while their largest loss was against Australia and they lost 76-0 (6 June 1998).
    They had won the world cup in 2003 and nearly one it again in 2007 (they came 2nd in 1991 & 2007).
    There first test match was in 1871. England played Scotland and lost by 1 try.

    1st Game: They played Argentina in Dunedin(10 September) and they won 13 – 9. They still have to play Georgia (18 September 6pm), Romania (24 September 6pm) and Scotland (1st October 8.30pm).

    See ya,
    This is Dylan signing out…

England also compete for the Calcutta Cup with Scotland as part of the Six Nations. They are ranked fifth in the world by the International Rugby Board as of 22 August 2011. England won the Rugby World Cup in 2003 and finished runners-up in 1991 and 2007.

  11. Hi Weka

    My chosen team is Scotland. Here are some facts:

    * Scotland lost to Argentina 13 - 12
    * Scotland won against Georgia 15 - 6
    * Scotland won against Romania 34 - 24

    I was disappointed Scotland lost to Argentina and I didn't agree with some of the ref's calls.
