Tricolore

This weekend is the rugby world cup, which happens once every 4 years. We had just arrived in London when England won it 4 years ago, and the celebrations were fantastic! The victorious rugby team toured through London on the open top of a double decker bus and went right down the street in front of my office, so I got a close up view of the heroes of the game! Its crazy to think that was 4 years ago, and here we are again - the finals are this Saturday and England (rather suprisingly) is in the final against South Africa. We will be cheering them on from a pub of course! (Jake too!)


Rich was able to make it to a quarter final game in Wales where he saw France beat New Zealand (the favourites!) I've included some pictures of the French fans, who really get into the spirit of things and proudly wear/paint the 3 colours of the French flag to show their support.
I love it!!





Token English fan at the match:) There will be many more English roses out Saturday!



This one made me laugh if you take a closer look!

The New Zealand 'All Blacks' have been training for this for the past 3 years winning almost every tournament along the way....and after their loss in the quarter finals, the coach was promptly fired!
