England vs Scotland

During the world cup I was able to go to Eden Park to see England Vs Scotland.  I went with Mark and Tamsin, fellow Brits, early to Auckland to visit 'the cloud' and meet up with some more friends.  We watched the Aussies take on Russia on some impressively huge screens with a few beers.  Our friends were not so keen to do the trail up to Eden park and we got on the bus to a pub near the ground where we had some more beers, it was very busy but great fun.  We later went on to the ground to watch the rest of Tonga vs France which was a fantastic game where more beers were drank.

Whilst waiting for the game to start I was winding Mark up about the Guernsey flag adding some class to the St. George's cross and he pointed and said do you mean one of those over there!  I couldn't believe it and had a few beers with some lads from Guernsey.  It was a tight game and it required many beers to calm the nerves as the scottish were loving the lead but England nicked it at the death.
There was a massive celebration after the game with the English and Tongans celebrating so we did the fan trail back visting many pubs on the way back which meant lots of beer.

I had a very sore head the next day, I blamed a dodgy MacDonalds.
