There is a very small group of Kiwis who live here in Barbados. Just off down to the local pub now to watch ($25 PPV) the Welsh test. Thanks for posting this – it' never fails to get our blood pumping for the tests.

I freak'n love Kapo O Pango. I was a little disappointed they didn't do it in the second test against the French.
