Depending how close you are to breakfast/lunch/dinner time, maybe that should read “not to be seen footage“!
Our pals over at RugbyAsia Channel takes us “behind the scenes at a Bledisloe Cup” game.
Before we show you, here’s a reminder:
Hong Kong will host one of world rugby’s great contests in October when the All Blacks and the Wallabies battle for the Bledisloe Cup at the Hong Kong Stadium.
The match will be played on Saturday, October 30, kicking off at 4.30pm local time.
The Canny Man‘s posters all read “An oasis in WanChai” but I personally like the one I saw on a video today:
“A football-free zone.”
OK, so South Africa just recently hosted a very successful football World Cup but man… a month of football is probably as much football as I can take! Truth be told, I’ve probably seen enough round-ball “action” to last me till the next World Cup. Which is probably a good thing, what with the RUGBY WORLD CUP in Zealand looming in 2011.
I am currently teaching a bridging course for new Secondary 1 students in Lok Fu and one of my colleagues is none other than the former Hong Kong rugby captain Semi Iafeta. Apologies to Semi, but I didn’t recognise him until I did a bit of “research” online today. However, in my defense Semi, your hair used to be a lot longer! Like most international rugby boys here in Hong Kong, Semi Iafeta is a semi-professional who makes his living teaching in Hong Kong.

It seems that the big Number 8 is also quite the video producer, having produced the video about The Canny Man I mentioned earlier:
