I'm Spartacus

As promised, here is a set of pictures that are hard to beat......






Argentina won the Bowl. Their captain stopped for us to take his picture. Now he said, you hold the Bowl and I will take your picture. Kieran and Ross delighted.



 Then the England boys won the Plate and all these players seem to have the ability to effortlessly take selfies.....I liked this one
 

Worse was then to come for the poor England captain as Ross indicated to him that, as the Argentine captain had let us pose with the Bowl, it would only be fair for them to pose with the Plate...... then these two lookers came along and the day was complete.

Well, the day was certainly complete for this chap who chose a very strange place for a lie down.

 I am pleased to say our tour finished in a very secret squirrel restaurant on the mid-levels. When booking the restaurant you got  a code for a door in a very non-descript alley. You went upstairs and there was a twelve cover restaurant knocking out the best Chinese you could imagine. Cheers Ross a great find and a marvellous way to end the tour.

Fiji again

So the Hong Kong sevens finished today with another win for Fiji as they beat New Zealand in the final. Sunday was a great last day with some really classy matches, but the weather in the morning was wild. I was soaked through by lunchtime so had to retire to the hotel for a kit change

England won the plate/shield ,beating USA in the final, with Dan Norton winning the speedster competition. I will post some memorable photo's on here later, including Kieran and Ross with the trophies and an ex-Twickenham player in the England team.

Friday the lads were in the South terrace and on Saturday we were all front row in the East stand. We then hit a roof top restaurant where a bottle of wine cost twice as much as our whole meal on the Sunday!!

Just met an England mum whose son couldn't play because of Hong Kong belly...must be a bugger. Hopefully he will be ok for Singapore next week although word is the city might not be....it's their first time hosting and the support infrastructure might be a bit frayed...hey go, lets go!!
