The original Mr Bledisloe [or Lord or whatever] was governor of NZ but came from Gloucestershire. So there's another Bledisloe Cup which is for the best kept village in Gloucestershire.
I always like to imagine the All-Blacks and the Wallabies competing for a best-kept village or the Frampton Mansell WI trouncing the All-Blacks with a display of hollyhocks on the village green.
Got absolutely soggied at this game but was good to watch live and the atmosphere was superb. Blacks only have to win next week at Eden Park to hold onto cup. Ending was a little bizarre.
