I have been fortunate enough to travel Europe watching rugby of the highest order, with good friends as company and meeting new friends on every occasion. As I embark on my biggest and longest journey to New Zealand for Rugby World Cup 2011, I decided to create this blog to allow me to share photos and thoughts (serious, anecdotal and who knows journalistic). I am sure there will be a certain element of travelog about this too, but I will try to emphasise the rugby more than anything else.
Hopefully this will grow to become a regular blog, even after the RWC11 experience has come to an end. I'm looking forward to interaction from friends, friends of friends and friends of friends of friends, so feel free to circulate this link to anyone you think may find this of interest.
My schedule is to arrive in New Zealand for the business end of the tournament, and my first game will be England vs Scotland at Eden Park, Auckland. I then attend every other game at that stadium over the remaining 23 days, including the Final. Trips around New Zealand have been shoe-horned into the weeks between the games and I'll hope to bring some colour and anecdotes from my travels too. Until then you will be able to see my thoughts on the different games before I head out to Auckland.
Starting this week there will be a preview of each of the Pools, with my predictions (such as they are) as to who will progress and who will be going home early. So share the link amongst people you think may be interested, and feel free to comment on any article I publish, I look forward to the interaction.
Hope you enjoy the blog, and look forward to hearing from you as this place grows.
