| Almost a Full House |
 |
| With Emma in the JPMorgan Corp Seats |
Last minute offer to see a Rugby Union game with Emma (from the UK). Had to go support the English fan base (though I am in Wallabie colors just to be safe!).
Just about a full house and we were fortunate enough to have fans sitting next to us that took turns explaining the game to Emma and me. I think we talked more than watched but hey that happens!
We made fast friends and ending have a full night of sports as we joined our rugby mentors for a few beverages watching late night World Cup action as AUS took on Ghana.
Of rivalry note:
- 39th match between the two teams (AUS 23 wins, ENG 14, 1 Draw)
- ENG has only won twice down under and both in the same year 2003. That is until that night!
- A 5'10", 30 year old tow head that the ladies love - Jonny Wilkinson - created a house full of boos during warm ups due to the final goal he kicked with seconds in the game that caused AUS the World Cup. It's still a pretty fresh wound for the fans down under. Hmmm...I know that feeling-Kardiac Kids!
