Rugby World Cup (2)



This is the second and last set of flags. I hope I have not forgotten any country. The red flag is the flag of Tonga. The lady is from Tonga too. She is probably famous in her country but I don't know who she is.

4 matches only out of 42 will take place in Montpellier:
  • Mercredi 12 septembre à 14h : Etats-Unis/ Tonga
  • Dimanche 16 septembre à 16h : Samoa/ Tonga
  • Dimanche 23 septembre à 14h30 : Fidji/ Australie
  • Dimanche 30 septembre à 20h : Etats-Unis/ Afrique du Sud
I need to look for Tonga, Samoa and Fidji (Fiji in English) on a map. I know where South Africa is located as I have been there twice. By the way, Nelson Mandela arrived in Paris today.

The Wallabies trained in the Stade Yves du Manoir here yesterday. My friend Evelyne took a lot of photos of the training for me and sent them this morning. I will post some of them. But why did the Wallabies "train" in Montpellier since, apparently, they are not going to play here?

This is a funny article, online on the site of The Independent:

How to survive the Rugby World Cup in France (or just find the nearest good watering hole)

  2. Eh non, Olivier, je ne vais pas aller voir de matches parce que c'est bien trop cher. Et puis c'est fini, il n'y a plus de place libres (sauf des places au marché noir, hors de prix).

    I won't attend any matches as the entrance fee was too high for me. You can surely find seats to buy on the black market but they are very expensive...).

  4. Bad luck you missed the game. Evelyne will forgive you. However it would be marvellous to hear Nelson Mandela à Paris. He should come to Montpellier, - now, wouldn't that be something great to experience?

    NO, Marie, I do not know why a rooster is a symbol of France. Tell me, please!

  6. I did not know, that Rugby makes French as crazy as an athletic Finns :), but now I know, thanks to you.

    I have to show this your blog to my daughter, she was there ½ years just before she finished her University studies. It was a break before going to the real responsible adulthood.
    I will come back!

  7. Je ne savais pas que les américains jouaient au rugby!, mais à travers ton blog on suivra les scores des matchs. En fin de semaine je vais passer devant le stade de France, je verrai sûrement beaucoup de drapeaux aussi.
