Our weekend of rugby continued with France against Japan at our local stadium. Our friend Roz was singing the anthems in the choir.
The stadium was nearly full, never seen so many people here before - the crowd was about 28,000 with the Kiwis supporting the Japanese. We had the cheap seats so in the temporary stand behind the goal.
The Japanese gave the French a run for their money in the first half and most of the second, with the crowd getting very excited and cheering every Japanese pass.
But the quality of the French meant that they pulled away in the last 10 minutes of the game scoring three tries and finally winning 47-21.
The French kicking a penalty - not sure who the random can of Heineken belonged to!
