Canterbury vs Otago, 2000, NPC game: it was my first game I ever went to and was in the old embankment at AMI stadium i think its called now, just great drunk canterbury students on one side, drunk otago students on the other, it was great atomosphere, some quality banter to boot. Good first impression as a young wee 10 year old
Canterbury vs Wellington, 2001, Ranfurly Shield, Christchurch game: Wellington were up big at the end of the first half and Canterbury came back in the second half when Ben Blair ran around Jonah Lomu to tie the game, hold the shield, get a bonus point for 4 tries or more and then kicked the game winner from the corner.
New Zealand vs Australia, 2002?, Bledisloe cup, Christchurch: Marc Robinson tackles Stirling Mortlock early, gets himself a yellow card and a penalty try should have been awarded (it happened right in front of me) but it wasn't. All Blacks win 12-6 I believe in the ******* rain. Not great game but a hell of a slug fest.
Crusaders vs Brumbies, 2001 maybe, Christchurch: Close right until the end and Aaron Mauger wins with a drop goal.
Canada vs NZ Moari, 2003, Toronto: ****** down with rain, but still say some fantastic play from Troy Flavell, Ron Cribb and Christian cullen
Wales vs Ireland, 2005 Grand Slam game: I feel bad that I had a ticket that should have been in the hands of a Welshmen who had never seen a grand slam before but it was awesome. first time in millenium stadium and the crowd was electric. i was of course wearing red, and every Irish person i met couldn't have been nicer. plus the party in the street afterwards was nuts
