This year I will forgo my usual tour of one of the Irish Counties in September and stay home and watch the World Rugby Cup being played in New Zealand. There is no sense in an Australian asking New Zealanders to cheer for the Australian Wallaby's but could I suggest to Clan Boyd members - when the All Black are not playing - they could select another team to support, when they go to these games. I would assume that perhaps the Irish or Scottish sides might be selected, as many of your ancestors will have come from either county. While I was in Auckland on 12 May for my talk, it was suggested that they should try to organise a BBQ's over the next 12 months to both widen the group that came to my talk and to pass onto these new people more about our Boyd history, etc. So perhaps these meetings might be held "shortly", so that those that wish to "support" a second World Rugby Cup team can make a group booking with their tickets for those games. Boyd Miller gave me a list of people that he had contacted - some with Emails, so when I write to these people shortly, I will pass on this suggestion to them. While those Boyd descendants from outside of New Zealand, whom may be going to New Zealand for this World Cup, may wish to make contact with Boyd's in those Cities they plan to travel to. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS
