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. https://youtu.be/o1efwKglwZU
This must have been a huge thrill for this kid...and of course the All Blacks winning

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...
Oh 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 ...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.
