Simon’s Notes

So the rugby world cup has started, a couple of days ago actually, but for me it only really kicked off today, and that’s because it’s the first time ever that my country plays a game in the WC. I’m more of a soccer fan myself, and I usually watch games where I expect Portugal to win, so it was a refreshing change to watch a game knowing that we would lose and simply enjoying it.

I’m very pleased and very proud of Portugal, even though we got beaten 56-10, we showed a lot of courage, passion, and tenacity. Portugal’s efforts weren’t completely in vain, we scored out first ever try in a rugby WC and would of scored another if it weren’t for the ref. All in all, I had a lot of fun watching my country in action. I previously had very little interest in rugby (even though I live in a rugby crazy nation), but I think that now I might take a little more interest, after all, Portugal is a WC nation :)).

I don’t know enough about rugby to make this a very informative post, so I’ll leave that up to the pros:

• Rugbyworldcup.com
• Worldcupweb.com
• BBC.co.uk
• Sportinglife.com
• Sundayherald.com

All we need now is to see Portugal in the next cricket WC, then I’ll be at peace :))
