Rugby Final

A sad day! Having been constantly given a hard time by the Aussies over England's poor performance in the lead up to the Rugby World cup, it was FANTASTIC to beat them in the quarter finals. To then go and beat the French in the Semi final was the icing on the cake. To be honest, after those 2 wins we didn't really care if we won the final against South Africa or not...but it would've been nice.

We got up at 2.30 in the morning and travelled with another English couple to a pub in the city. Most of the people in the pub hadn't been to bed (like us old folks) and were totally drunk. There was a mixture of South Africans, Australians and many English fans all glued to the TV screens around the place. Noone noticed the sun come up as we watched our boys battle it out against the Springboks.

But it wasn't meant to be (even if that was a try really!). We held our heads high as we went for a McDonalds breakfast wearing our 'England' t-shirts. Well done boys...maybe next time.
