My Game 4 of the Rugby World Cup was between South Africa and Samoa, a huge match for the Springboks having been beaten by Japan in what will I imagine be the shock of the tournament. Would they bounce back in style? The match was at Villa Park, the home of Aston Villa, I had … More South Africa v Samoa – The RWC – Event 137
My Rugby World Cup schedule had been planned to make sure I saw the mighty All Blacks play at least 3 times, the first of those games saw them face Namibia at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford. The closest of the stadiums to my home I took the option of travelling from Chelmsford. At £12.50 … More New Zealand v Namibia – The RWC – Event 136
Having rushed away from Lords and the Royal London Cup Final I made good time to Waterloo to then get stuck on a slow train to Twickenham. I was in the company of some very charming French men, I have no idea why when they speak English it’s music to the ears, yet we sound … More France v Italy – The RWC – Event 134
And so with the opening ceremony successfully completed it was tie to kick off the Rugby World Cup 2015. As hosts that job was down to England; their opponents were Fiji – a strong, fast team with a run of wins behind them. Would this England squad take their place in history – in a … More England v Fiji – The RWC – Event 132
Is Event 131 an event in its own right? Maybe not, and I wasn’t going to write a separate piece, but sorting my photos out I think it probably deserves to stand alone. With 16 World Cup games to go to It’s going to be hard to keep up so I may well be brief … More The Rugby World Cup Opening Ceremony – Event 131
Game 3 of my weekend involved England’s opponents in the opening World Cup match, Fiji, I was very interested to see the team who’d line up against the hosts. At £25.00 for an afternoon of international rugby at The Stoop it was as they say, a no brainer. I donned jeans, for the first time in … More Canada v Fiji – Event 126
Now, I have a bit of a quandary – The Rugby World Cup is only a week away and I’m behind with my blog, I think I may need to go Phlog stylie so I can get up to date before it all kicks off. Rugby Aid kick started my weekend, it’s a game between … More Rugby Aid 2015 – Event 124
On the basis that I’m falling behind with my 365 Sporting Days I really am going to make this event more of a Phlog than a blog. Although as this was an evening event so the photos may get a bit dodgy as you can see things progress. I was lucky enough to have media … More The Singha Premiership 7’s – Event 120
Now, this is going to be one of those unusual ‘events’, probably more like an article than a blog too. With a journey to The Stoop to make I decided to multi-task. I very clearly have an interest in the work carried out by Saracens, but also the link between the club and Sanlam Private … More Sevenoaks Rugby Club – Saracens Camp – Event 119
This Event is somewhat unusual, amongst the many press releases I get the lovely people at Premiership Rugby I had a media invitation from Harlequins. A chance to go and watch them train at the Surrey Sports Park and be amongst the first to lay eyes on the new shirt. I had a free day … More Harlequins Training, Shirt Launch – Event 111
