South Stand Madness - Saturday

We all had to meet up at Alastair's flat at 8.00am for breakfast in order that we could be at the ground by 9.00am. Even though there is a full day of rugby the South Stand is full by 10.00am and you can only get in if another person leaves. We started the day with 2 liters of Bloody Mary and went on from there! Every one was in high spirits, and it was a blast - and there were no nasty incidences. We had grown to expect the worst, but it was better than we all thought it might be.

All the games were played in order ot get into the quarters/semis and finals which are played on Sunday - so even if we missed some of the games the best was to come on sunday when hopefully we would be sober.

After the last game around 7.30pm we had drinks in the 7's Village, dinner at the Chili club in Wanchai (where mysteriously one of the arms of Alastair's baby reappeared) and rounded off the drinking in the packed Lan Kwai Fong area at Stormies.

Jean and I could not resist a foot massage at Happy Foot next to our Hotel - where at 2.00am we were awoken to be told the massage was finished. It was clear three 2.00am nights in a row was taking its toll!
