Cherry Blossoms

I woke up to the most shocking news... Dan Carter is out of the tournament! Was so shocked. At first I thought it meant he was just out of today's match, but later on I heard that he is out for the rest of the RWC. Was pretty sad... Nobody kicks like him. We need him to win the Cup! Luckily the All Blacks has a pretty strong team. Hope that Ma'a Nonu and Richie Mccaw don't get out! If they do then we might not do as well =/

Only watched bits of the All Blacks vs Canada game, since the players I liked weren't playing. I did watch the Ireland vs Italy game though! Even though the ref was a bit off at times, it was a fantastic game! So glad that Ireland is doing so well! Hope they beat Wales next weekend!

Some of the trees down the road are sprouting pale cherry blossoms. They are so pretty!
