Rugby World Cup 2007- Portugal v Romania

Doesn't seem like well over a year ago I bought tickets to the only two Rugby World Cup 2007 matches in Toulouse that I could get tickets for - as a warm up for the rout I expect the All Blacks v Romania to be this was an entertaining match. Great seats - well plastic "cushions" on concrete - on a walk way exactly on the try line - it felt like you could have reached out and touched the players.
From RWC 2007
Match 30 - Portugal's last chance to salvage something from the tournament - 108-13 to the All Blacks was no disgrace - crossing the try line something England failed to do against the Springboks! It was like a home match for Portugal - with lots of atmosphere. But that didn't stop the superior fitness of the Romanians eventually leading to their 10-14 victory. Roll on the All Blacks v Romania - for the half the Black's are playing towards us we should see lots of action in the Romania 22 and for the other half we'll have a good view of the conversions....

Have a great time at the All Blacks and give a cheer for the NZ team from me remembering my childhood years in that lovely country.
