<p>Great news!</p>
<p>In November there will be a Rugby test match between the New Zealand national rugby team the "All Blacks" and the American national Rugby team "The Eagles" in Chicago.</p>
<p>The match will be played at 'Soldiers Field' and they are expecting 40,000 tickets to be sold and any GBT members living nearby should head along and watch as the All Blacks always provide great entertainment and value for money.</p>
<p>This raises some interesting facts -</p>
<p>It took from 1492 until 1959 for America to become what it is today - 467 years.</p>
<p>Over those 467 years conquering America involved the Spanish sending 3 ships, various British and Mexican Kings sent entire armies to have a go, diseases were introduced killing off native populations, it took decades to move America 'west' with the US Army establishing forts and fighting various conflicts - and all the other trials and tribulations which comprise US history.</p>
<p>However here in New Zealand yesterday plans were hatched -</p>
<p>Question: "What will it take for New Zealand to conquer America?"</p>
<p>Answer: "We are New Zealanders ....so 80 minutes and 15 guys should do it" LOL!!</p>

This is reminiscent of the war in Afghanistan...whereas America and Britain and others mobilised tens of thousands of troops... New Zealand sent 40 LOL ...("let me get this straight, you want to topple the Taliban and al quaeda? oh 40 kiwis should be able to do it in no time!")......We found liberating Iraq a bit more of a struggle - that required 61 NZ troops lol
