The snow came and left... on to Rugby

17 more days and counting for the 1st phase of ticket sales/applications. 

"Fans apply for 325,000 tickets and rising", this is the latest news from rwc2011.com and doesn't include the 85,000 tickets sold as part of travel packages so far.

I want to be confident that we will have tickets, all 11 of us.  I would like to think that we would have a decent chance at getting tickets to see Canada play their games.  It would be cool if there was a graphical representation of what packs are being selected on the RWC2011 website. 

The schedule for the Canada games we want to see are:

Our plans for traveling to New Zealand will likely begin with an arrival on the 12th of September, 2011 and leaving either the 4th of October or the 12th of October, 2011.  Undecided on extension of stay just yet.
