Its interesting these days how "instant news" can become through the internet and using your phone to capture the moment. This is a good example.

I'm a Welsh Kiwi living in Australia, so have no idea who I should support!

That was quite the 'unnecessary' rugby tackle the young lad took....
What a player to take the kid up and do what he did. Priceless and totally unselfish!! Very cool.
Cheers,
Matt

A nice ending to the above story.. is when Sonny Bill Williams got a farewell visit from his young fan Charlie Line as the All Blacks prepared to depart London.

Well not quite the end, they had a large turnout on there return to this city yesterday "for a parade".

The only downside was that "Scotland" did not win the cup...drat... [Frown]

that reminds me back in the 1990s I was working for a airline. With only minutes until a aircraft was to leave a gate. I noticed the pilot waving at me from the cockpit. I thought what's wrong...boarded the aircraft...went through to the cockpit...The pilot took off his headset, turned round and asked me what did I think of the Scotland vs All Black game [Eek!]

...wee had a we chat and with his co-pilot "looking" like its time to go...I said to the captain better get going.....catch up later.

When I was leaving a cabin attendant said to me, are there problems?. I replied "no", there was "no way" I was going to say, we were talking rugby....ah...memories....good times.

yesterday...

...even these guys take selfies....
