Sharing a passion for Sport!
It’s Autumn Internationals time – except both this match and the match between Scotland and Tonga were both booked outside of the official window. That meant both Home Nations teams were without any players situated in Premiership Rugby. That in spite of the fact that all of those picked in the England squad were absent on a training camp in […]
England take on the All Blacks at Twickenham in driving rain
At last I’ve been at 2 matches over a weekend in daylight hours! That means I have some photos to share, my camera is a bit rubbish with late kick offs. So, more Phlog than Blog is what this will be, in fact it may be something of a rant. I hadn’t intended to go to this match, but I […]
A love affair with the All Blacks that started back in the early 80’s and a daughter who lives in Paris sent me under the water (via Eurostar) to that beautiful city. I’ve found it so much easier to get tickets for the Stade de France and have watched Australia, Scotland, England twice and 2 Top 14 Finals and added […]
Having booked to watch England play Sri Lanka in Nottingham it seemed a perfect opportunity to head up to Manchester to watch the future starts on the rugby union world. I’d booked blind to a degree, but was betting on England doing well. That was to be the case and I had the mouthwatering prospect of watching some of the […]

We managed to buy 2 of the 100 that had been stolen! But. we were given access into the […]
After a journey to Gloucester to watch some Premiership rugby I was relieved that the semi-final of the Rugby World Cup was due to start in Twickenham at 4pm – that meant I was able to have a chilled breakfast and a leisurely journey to the vicinity. Teddington station was my target – a short train ride to Twickenham in […]
When I was seeking Rugby World Cup tickets I always had in mind that I”d follow the All Blacks through the knock out stages, so bought myself a ticket for each of the quarter finals in Cardiff at the soon to be renamed Principality Stadium. It was a no brainer for me to travel to my favourite place to watch […]
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 return that was a good […]
