Rugby World Cup


There are 5 Kiwis at my school, so for each and every game the All Blacks have played we've been there cheering them along. Around the city are a number of bars with huge flat screen TV's capitalising on sporting fever, and especially the World Cup. Our Kiwi contingent have been meeting at the newly opened Hogs Breath Cafe. As our school is mostly staffed with British teachers, a number of those hail from Wales. Yesterday the Kiwis went along to support the Welch in their bid to make the finals. Frankly I'd sooner play wales in the final than France. The bar was rather colourful as all the Welch supports were dressed in their red shirts, waving the Welch national flags and singing. This guy from the secondary school really went all out with his national suit on. You had to admire Wales for their tenacity and grit, and if ever a side deserved to win....... Sadly the out come was not to be.
And the woman in the background.... head of one of the campus’s I work at.
