  Apologies for not introducing myself earlier (and thanks, Kieran, for the reminder). I’m 25 (soon to be 26 at the end of the month) fom Singapore. Never been to New Zealand but have heard great things about it so i’m really psyched to go. Just as well that I’m a rugby fan so I can’t wait to immerse myself in the RWC atmosphere. Anyone catching any of the RWC games by any chance?

  I’m excited about the rugby too! Guessing we won’t be seeing any, but maybe we can watch some in a pub?!

  Thanks Keiron, I’ll try and get booked there!

  I get to Auckland at about 12pm the day before the tour starts I think, I’m flying from Singapore – am spending a few days there on my way over, then have a stopover in Sydney but it’s for like 8 hours so not looking forward to that!

  But yes would be good to meet up in the evening the night before with anyone already there!

  I’ve learnt most of the rules, but don’t worry to much about them when I watch it!

  I have booked queen street backpackers hostel and asked them about the bus and they said you just buy a ticket off the driver when you get on :) I have also booked a hostel for the last night in Christchurch called Around the world backpackers if anyone else still needed to book somewhere!
