Rugby World Cup 2011 - # - Russell & Robyn's Photos

The opening few days of the Rugby World Cup held in New Zealand. Russell attended the opening ceremony and first match against Tonga at Eden park. Then we both went to the France v Japan match on the North Shore. A week or so later we went into Queens Wharf to watch the Japan vs Tonga match in the Fanzone and then the following Sunday went to see Samoa play Fiji at Eden Park.

Russell with one of the "Heineken hosts" who were there to show us the way to the park. Unfortunately no free beers and they were not staying to show us the way home again!
