I went down to Twickenham yesterday to watch the All Blacks slaughter the England rugby team - love Twickenham, 82,000 seats so truly one of the great stadiums of the world

The Kiwis deserved their 26-16 victory over England after the home side's poor start and high mistake-count allowed the Kiwis to hop out to a 17-3 halftime lead.
Everyone agreed the All Blacks were not at full throttle and almost lacked off all their normal pace and dynamism... still a great game and the lovely crisp weather was perfect for keeping our beers cold and frothy

here are some snaps.. apologies the poor quality

you're right. Cheerleaders came to my mind at first,but thank you for bringing me back to reality..

Great shots Anders!

Looks like a good time.

Rugby sounds like a great sport, however I prefer American football. The guys might be ugly but every team pretties it up with chearleaders.

Twickenham is an incredible stadium, amazing atmosphere. Went there a few years back for the Heineken Cup Final, Wasps vs. Toulouse - fantastic day out

Great pics Anders

Nice trip report! This thread is a cool change of pace.

With NZ in town, the YM would have made a good choice to wear, too.

Well said Mate

I travel to Melbourne for the F1 and drink beer/wine out of the plastic cups :YUK:. Nowadays it's only Corporate. Sit down meals and alcohol served in glass

Enhances the atmosphere and experience

copy that - only reason i went to the game was because of a corporate invite

can't go wrong with being looked after, whether it being Twickenham, Wimbledon, Scottish Open etc.

never been to Melb for the F1, need to do that next time I'm in Oz

Must do Wimbledon vice versa, see some proper etiquette on display.

The F1 in Melbourne is a real blast and the city accomodates for such an event

They have the infrastructure and the knowhow to host such an event

it's awesome! Must go corporate though, otherwise, it's warm beer out of plastic.

Anders, looks like you had a great time as it's always nice and fun to go to the games. It's always fun to watch the crowd and how drunk the people get sitting around you!!!

NYC6 · 9 November 2010, 09:18 AM

what kind of beer you drinking there?

GradyPhilpott · 9 November 2010, 09:27 AM

Looks like a lot of fun.

I'd like to have been there.
