Rugby 7s


Today we trekked to Murryfeilds Stadium for the Sevens.
The first of the two days were still group games (the finals coming on the second day) 16 teams competed including Australia (Fiji was tipped to win) The crowd had a lot of fun. It was the first time the final leg of the World Series has been held in Scotland, and it was obviously an annual thing for lots of groups of people! There were sumos, oompa loompa’s, british sissy-nannies, a roman guard, a banana, Snow Mike and his dwarves, and even borat and his green swimsuit came. The crowd was full of Kiwis and Fijians, and a good Kenyan and South African crowd as well. There were a few Aussies, lots of Americans but not to many English. No one likes the English in Scotland. They were booed when they played anyone.

After a full day to Rugby we headed to a big pub near the hostel called The Three Sisters to watch Estonia play Croatia in the Euro qualifiers of Football. We lost 1-0 but the Croatians cheated.
