Rugby World Cup Quarter Finals - Ireland and France

With Tonga in full swing of Rugby madness and with all of the Fab Five (including partners and kids) in town for the first time in about 1yr.. of course we decided to all gather together at Dom's house and support our chosen teams. Ireland being the chosen team of the day for O'DD (Jen) and our newest of friends Dee and Steve, who are also Irish, everyone decked themselves out in green. The second game we supported France (as Tonga beat them) Everyone brought some salads and meat for the BBQ and the teams supplied the entertainment between beers and wine. Such a great night shame the Irish let us down though.


Dom & Hannah did a great job decking out the house.


Ireland score and the celebrations began.


Even the kids got dressed up.



A little more sobering at half time though.


The first ever entire group photo including new comers Dee and Steve (nice runners Buddy).


The loyalists surrounded the TV for the full time debrief, Steve, Non-rugby John, Rugby John and Jen L-R


Lyndon the very messed up Irish/Scotsman with Hey Jimmy Hat and Tepanu helped Dom with the half time clean up, by getting him another beer anyway.


Seeing everyone else was dressed up Evie thought her dress up clothes should come out.


With a change in colours we moved onto the red, white and blue to support France. Also O'DD and John's kids are frogs, by birth. It was well after nine so Annie decided (as usual) to pass out.


The kids where making too much noise so they were banished to the bedroom to watch movies (girls only) the boys were out in the yard playing hide and seek.


After a few wines Steve thought he would look great in Sesi's Hulk muscle suit. Looking at Dee's smile it must have been a while since she'd seen him with a six pack? Typical Irish, always having the last laugh, even if their team went down.
