It rained for most of the drive to Hamilton and I was really concerned about the kind of weather Jen and I would have to sit in just to watch the game. But luckily, once we arrived, the sun came out and it turned out to be a really, really pleasant day.
Both crowds were amazing. There were countless painted faces, a man dressed like Wonder Woman and a large fellow with his belly painted. (He was cheering for Samoa). Everyone was really into the game, which helped when I didn't know what was going on. They were also pretty courteous to one another, which is something you don't always see at games in the U.S. (Think Oakland Raiders fans).
The game snacks of choice at the RWC were french fries, corn dogs and donuts. Oh and of course beer.
Unfortunately for Jen and I, Wales won, 17-10. But it was a good game. Just so you know, the U.S. team is in the Rugby World Cup, but their matches are just too far for Jen and I to travel to.
So if you ever get a chance to go to a rugby match I say go for it!
