Yay Rugby

Well all I can say is that it's good to be part of the Scottish Rugby Union, I signed up for the newsletter when we got tickets to the Edinburgh Sevens earlier in the year. And what a good move it turned out to be!

We'd (well me, rach didn't really care), had pretty much given up on getting any tickets to the AB's vs Scotty group game of the RWC which was being played in Edinburgh. With the only tickets left either on E Bay or over £200 ($500) through an agent. But the good old SRU sent out a late email a week before the game saying that members were to get a last ditch chance to buy up tickets for the original £38 price.

Well I didn't need too much of a push and brought up 4 tickets.

Before the game we met up with a few Kiwi mates who were in town for the game and we couldn't believe how many NZders were mulling round the city. Every 2nd person was wearing black or singing slice of heaven.

Anyway we went around to one of Rachs workmates place who lives near Murrayfeild and who was coming to the game with us and headed on down to the park.

Our seats were sweet, front row on halfway. Drinks were cheap and the atmosphere was great, well except for the 10 year old girl sitting behind us screaming GO SCOTLAND for the whole first half. But it wasn't long before the score line snubbed her out.

So good day out all and all, bit confusing who was who. We just cheered whenever points were scored and were pretty much right every time.
