YAHOO!

That about sums it up for Sean Fitzpatrick, DHL’s Rugby Ambassador. Here’s his final entry at the end of an exciting Rugby World Cup final that was gripping up to the last seconds.

Eden Park in Auckland was a very special place to be on Sunday as we celebrated the crowning of the new world champions – New Zealand – after their 8-7 win over France. I don’t think I have ever experienced an atmosphere in a stadium anywhere in the world like that. And it was just the same throughout the entire country.

And did you know that...

Australia ranks No.9 worldwide for chocolate consumption and No. 11 for sugar confectionary. Nine out of 10 Australians regularly consume confectionery, 80 percent of which is in the chocolate and sugar categories. DHL Supply Chain’s newest consumer operation looks after a great deal of this volume. In addition to major customer Lindt and Sprüngli, DHL also looks after close to 50 percent of all confectionery lines in Aldi on behalf of a number of premier German confectionery manufacturers.

 

Good luck for the last week of our Rugby quiz!

Everything is possible

DHL Global Rugby Ambassador, Sean Fitzpatrick, looks back at the past weekend of Rugby action.

 

If the first part of the Rugby World Cup was marked by a few surprises and some questions being asked about the top teams, I think the last few days has shown that the favorites – New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, England and Ireland – are beginning to crank up their acts.
