Saturday November 15 was the first time i went to the hallowed turf of Twickenham. Unfortunatley for me i was not there in the capacity to attend as a player nor a spectator. What made it a little harder to swallow was the fact that i was working in a bar. All the bars at Twickenham face the outer and you are unable to see the game.
The worst thing about this first Twickenham experience was that it was Australia Vs England. My bar manager was rather cool and let me have a break and watch the first 20 minutes on the TV adjacent to the bar (which we were told at the start of the shift we would not be able to do.) I have to tell you that some of the Englishman i didn't want to serve prior to the game given their utter arrogance towards Australian's generally. It was sweet however when the Wallabies came through with victory rather convincingly 28-14 it was rather sweet.
One of the security guards was nice enough to let me take a couple of shots (will be up later) of the ground when it was empty. I was also fortunate to be able to see the Wallabies board their bus and give them some applause for their efforts.
