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)

Rugby World Cup (1)

The Rugby World Cup will take place in France this year. It will start on next Friday.

The Wallabies played yesterday in Montpellier (training). I had been invited to attend the match by my friend Evelyne but as I was at the museum I had to turn down the offer. Sigh.

When I left the museum I took a few photos of the flags on the lampposts of the Place de la Comédie. They are the flags of the countries whose teams are going to play in Montpellier. There are a few other ones....
