Allez les bleus!

Whoo, go NSW!!! I've never really been a State of Origin fan...as in, I had to ask Mum which team was which even though the scores showed which colour each team was. But I was knitting a scarf for a friend's birthday and the only other mildly interesting thing on was Chocolat, a movie set in France that seemed interesting but at the time I turned it on had a weird scene. So we settled for the State of Origin. And it was...interesting. Neither of us really knew the rules (Dad told me about the point system a week or two ago but, seriously, there was NO WAY that I was going to remember the specifics) so we just picked it up as we went along. AND NSW WON! After a five (I think?) year losing streak, we won. Well, by 'we', I kind of include myself as I watched but at the same time I could only care a tiny bit less about it before this afternoon and wouldn't really lament if I never watch it again. It was a good game though. I also love the fact that I could say 'Allez les bleus!' It also reminded me that, as my netball team wears blue, I can (and, if I remember, will) say that at our games from now on.
