God I'm knackered! Yesterday was a long day and I didn't sleep very well for worrying about the game today, believe it or not!
I think everybody felt the same because we agreed on the journey down to Hamilton that we would get there and sit in a pub until the game and just relax, not worry about going anywhere or seeing anything. Perfect.
After about 2 hours, we arrived in Hamilton and managed to park the car incredibly close to the stadium and the pub that I had suggested (the same one that I ended up in the last time I was in Hamilton with the nice group of Welsh guys that help me sell my spare ticket). Once at the pub, we got straight in, sat down, ordered food and drinks and watched the NZ v Canada game - I have really enjoyed watching Canada at this tournament, for me, their number 6 Adam Kleeburger has been one of the stand out players so far.
Settled in nicely and with food on the way I nipped to the toilet and no lie, on the way back I SAW THE BLOODY WELSH MAN AGGAIINNNNN!!
This is getting entirely too weird now, Franz Josef and Queenstown which are in the South Island and at least 5 hours apart there….Then Auckland and Hamilton in the North Island and they are 2 hours apart - I swear he is following us, we haven't seen anyone else that we have recognised and its just too weird.
I ran over to Michelle and told her that 'that guy is here AGAIN' and she went and had a look, we talked about going over to say hello, but by this time I didn't really want to as he had definitely seen us at each place and not said anything and it would have just been a little weird going and saying hello at that point - I was getting a little freaked out!
The game turned out to be a corker and Wales absolutely annihilated Fiji - torrential rain or no torrential rain - I loved it and it was nice to see that the guys were supported Wales too! J
Happy on the way home, nervous energy spent, I feel asleep and didn't wake up until we pretty much made it home. Having slept in the car I was able to stay up with Darren and Michelle for a little bit whilst they packed and got ready to leave the following morning.
I can't believe they are leaving already, it has gone so fast L
Goodbye, Rock Maker. Goodbye, WIP.
