Anyone who remembers last year’s costume will recognise this gentleman:

Cutaway

The Rugby Sevens is a two-day tournament, where games have seven players per side (instead of the usual fifteen), and there are two seven-minute halves (instead of the usual forty). New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington, is presently hosting a round of the world championship.

So, the action on the field is fast and furious, and the same can be said for the fans watching.

If you’re interested in fancy dress, the photos from this year’s tournament are definitely worth a look. My personal favourite would have to be the Highlighters.

You know...

You know... Looking at his back - that looks an awful lot like a white bra strap...

He’s back!

He sure is having fun.

Whew! For a second there, I saw the title and feared Shrub had somehow gotten back in office. Heart attack city.

Watching the Rugby

You have to wonder, Alison.

I think that for the most part, the crowd are their own entertainment.

Of course, when it comes to the Semis and Final, things are a bit more serious.

I see that New Zealand are playing Australia in one semi, while in the other, England have beaten Samoa.

How fun. I have two questions...

1) Did you attend?
2) If so, what was your costume?

Loved the photos. It looks like that would be a blast to go to.

And I have one answer...

1) No.

Wellington is right at the other (southern) end of the North Island of New Zealand to where I live. The distance is 784 km / 487 miles. So, travel is an issue (10-12 hours' driving or 1.5 hours flying time).

The Westpac Stadium in Wellington (known throughout New Zealand as, 'The Cake Tin,') only holds 35,000. When tickets for this event go on sale, they only last about 10 minutes before they're all sold.

It definitely is a blast, though.
