Tennis and Rugby!!!!!

This was the week for some serious sports. I went to the England vs New Zealand Rugby Match at Twickenham Stadium and Andy and Steve went to the O2 Center for some professional tennis matches. They had 5th row seats!!!! The next day Steve was given a ticket by Claudia, a Swiss friend, and it was front row. I went to the Rugby Match as a guest of Vittorio, the landlord of the student flats. He is an avid rugby player originally from Italy. We were accompanied by his friend Stefano and his wife who were visiting from Italy. Great time was had by all. Enjoy to photos and video at the end of the blog. Andy will be going to a soccer game in Darby tomorrow while we are off to Ireland.
