[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 209496"] Both my parents are Canadian as am I, but my folks decided to move to NZ when i was 9/10 years old. I remember watching 10mins of the NZ vs Eng at the '99 world cup and my dad said that's the sport you're going to be playing when you get down there. So that would be my first introduction but I don't remember anything other than one pick and go by Byron Kelleher. I'd say the moment it really propelled me into the game was probably Otago vs Canterbury, I was in the old embankment and a bunch of the students from Otago came up and they were just off their face plastered and the chirping and banter between the themselves and some of the other supporters were just hilarious. But at that moment it really got into my head just the level of respect there is amongst rugby fans and how no matter what side you're on you can still share a drink with the opposing fans. And then after that I was just absolutely hooked. I still get up at 3am every saturday morning to watch either Canterbury or the All Blacks play and I imagine I will until I die. [/QUOTE]
