Pacific Cup Rugby

rugby is by far the biggest sport here, and people were quite appalled when i informed them that i had never watched a full rugby match in my life. i decided to remedy this situation by attending one of the pacific cup games at the national stadium here in suva: fiji vs. japan. despite the efforts of my british friend, i had very little idea what was going on for the duration of the match. i had a jolly time nevertheless.

some rugby action.

onlookers spectatin'. i was all conflicted inside regarding who to cheer for. the solution was random applause at various points.

the best part about the half time show was the fact that the marching band was led by an ATM. we really wanted to get our picture taken with the ATM afterwards, but alas, he was nowhere to be found.

fiji won in the last minute! very exciting. i'm not too sure how or why, but it was good stuff. sorry, japan, maybe next year.

the most dedicated and informed rugby fans you'll ever meet.
