Rugby fever!

My goodness it is like a national obsession here, every game and tactic of the Rugby World Cup is being watched, analysed and discussed through out the whole country! Even the food has changed colour to support the All Blacks!
 That is milk! not engine oil!!
There is of course at least one person wearing red (and one very proud Scot wearing navy blue!)




Now of course after a set of thrilling quarter finals - some watched at the local hotel bar at 8am (coffee and breakfast rather than beer!) we now are also donning black with silver fern trim! It has to be said that the Southern Hemisphere rugby seems faster and slicker - but at least the 3 teams who got to the quarters are learning from their kiwi coaches! This is something that the rugby commentators here are very quick to point out!
We had so much support for both the Welsh and the Scottish final matches from friends, it was lovely.

Now it is GO THE AB's
 hope you are supporting them too!
