We finally got to go to a Rugby Match. We live in an area that is big into rugby. I was able to get cheap tickets to a Finals game via an Internet promotion. The two teams playing were the London Irish and the Leicester Tigers. The game was sold out with as many as 81,601 supporters at the match. James and I walked to the stadium which is the next town across the river called Twickenham.
We're still are not quite up on the rules of rugby, but we had help by the fans seated next to us. We found out that they don't have play by play in the stadium only if you have brought a radio to hear the commentary. James and I supported the London team and we bought London Irish rugby shirts.
Our luck they lost by one point. We found a new way to sell beer, walking through the crowd with small kegs attached to their backs. The English like their beer just barely
cold.
After the game we walked back to Richmond with the 81,000 supporters walking through town and stopping at the local pubs and restaurant's. We found a good Italian restaurant who had one man band playing American songs and diners in the restaurant all sung along with him. It was a good day out and ticked the box of going to a rugby match.
