Our great training ended with a beer in hand, some Chili and homemade cake. We all got the chance to meet each other and have some well earn...

On Saturday 2nd November at 10h00, the final game of the Rugby World Cup started. That game opposed South Africa to England. After their win in the semi final against New Zealand, the English were somehow the favourite of that game.
