RWC 2015 part three

Finally, the Bokke ended up at the top of Pool B and we had the right Quarters tickets after all.We stayed with the London Greenfields in Chiswick as we do and London was abuzz with rugby fever. There were plenty of visiting and resident Saffers out and about and we felt like we we new at least half of them. We had a busy week catching up with family and friends and got the Quarters weekend party going in Soho on Friday night. A surprise late entry to our supporters clan were Nick and Kerry from Wales, a splash of red amidst the green and gold pre-match lunch at the Rock and Rose in Richmond. The atmosphere was great, the game exciting and the win worth celebrating. Back in Richmond we found a wonderful Italian Restaurant to celebrate and watch the 2nd quarter final.

On Sunday the rugby continued, with lunch at a pub in Soho with Eric and Veronica and friends and 2 more quarter finals to watch. In the end, four Southern Hemisphere teams went through to the Semis with the Bokke to face the looming All Blacks and the Travelling Greenies boarding a plane to sunny SA.
