It was a close run thing and by the end of the third quarter I had more than a vague idea of what was going on. I was finding it hard to come to terms with all the deliberate knock-ons and no scrummages. It definately needs some development. The game finished 120 / 102... To the French!!

I fine result for them and an equally fine spectacle put on by both sides.


Even Medals were presented to both teams. Here the French captain raises the "ANZAC Challenge Cup".


The Australians claimed they had some issues with fielding a full team as a number of players couldn't get to the event due to the disruption to air travel. (or so they said... hehehehe) The game ws also played last year and will now become an annual event. The current overall score is Australia 1 - France 1. Next year is a decider.


My little girl didn't find it at all interesting so she found herself another friend to play with.


Then she decided to play the "I'm not going to do anything my Daddy tells me" game. Also one of my favorites.


And so a last look back at the town before heading off to our Motel. Early start tomorrow.
