An Australian Rugby Match

On Sunday we went to a rugby match at Centennial Stadium. It had been lashing with rain all day and the weather didn't let up for the game either. We arrived in good time and settled in our seats, but were blown all over the place by a wind created by the stadium - it seemed to be sucked down into the grounds like a vortex. Luckily we had lots of layers to keep warm, even though it was 18 degrees outside the stadium.

The game was set off with a fanfare and fireworks as the Warratahs came out to play against the Stormers. The play was poor and both teams struggled to score a try, in particular the home side - the Warratahs. The end result was 18-10 to the Stormers. A dispointing game, but the event was good. We had a few beers and thoroughly enjoyed having a gang of us at the game.
