rugby!

I went to my first rugby game!

Anna, a lovely Dutch girl that MT introduced me to, was going with her boyfriend & a bunch of their friends, and had an extra ticket. It was raining, though we found covered seats...and apparently there are TWO rugby leagues here...and I saw the snootier, higher class (?) one...which is supposed to be more gentleman-ly and slightly slower moving.

Unfortunately, I know nothing about the game and Anna doesn't, either...and the girls we were sitting next to were not very warm and fuzzy. Luckily, she'd already warned me about the sitch. One of the girls, who we ended up talking to later and quite a bit at the after bar, was really sweet and had some hilarious stories. She's a stylist and lived in LA for a year. So we discussed Rachel Zoe. I knew that time invested in Bravo would pay off somehow ;)

On the upside, we saw the Sydney Waratahs (a flower, not very manly)...and I have a crush on one of their star players, Berrick Barnes (don't ask about the name...sounds really odd, right? Except it's only one letter off Derrick...which sounds a bit more normal). Hmm...

Will learn more about rugby soon...must be able to converse with hot Aussies about topic...or better yet...find myself a handsome tutor!

cheers...
