Finals Rugby World Cup 2007
Finals Rugby World Cup 2007
Unfortunately I could not see the finals at home or in at Hole In The Wall Irish Pub in Amsterdam, but it was possible to see it in Fadó Irish Pub in Austin. Here watching the games however was not free of charge like in Amsterdam, here was a $ 20,00 cover fee.
Service at the bar was outstanding and Kim (always a smile on her face) could just keep up with the demands for beer.
It was quite busy in the pub and the atmosphere amongst the supporters of South-Africa and England was excellent.
The game was so good and exciting. For a minute or two I thought that England might even win the game and be the holder of the world cup, However the SA team played so much better that the well won.
So after the game all the supporters in SA jerseys where so exited and kept on cheering for long time. It was good to see the president of South –Africa being with “his” team to celebrate. Even better to see that Sarkosy, the president of France, could not claim that, due to his efforts France had won. He seems to claim victory for everything that goes well, even if he had nothing to do with it.
Now we have to wait another 4 years and then the World Cup will be played in New Sealand.
