Who would have thought? Me watching a rugby game! I didn't have any other plans, so when Lize-Marie asked me I said "Sure, why not?"
We met at Walthamstow Central train station and made the slow journey to Wembley. The thing I was looking forward to the most was to see the stadium.
We were very lucky with the weather- the best part of the day was the sun on my shoulders! The game seemed to go very quickly. I tried to follow along, but quite often got lost. Rugby is still a game I don't understand, seems to be a lot of guys jumping all over each other!
