Thursday: "COME ON IRISH!"

After the midweek game against Windsor RFC, we caught the train to Reading, and took a shuttle to the Madejski Stadium to watch a top level rugby union game.

The Highlanders squad were given the privilege of being the Honor Guard as the teams ran out onto the pitch. We were mentioned in the match program. This game was televised live, and hopefully some of you at home in NC were able to see us welcoming the players.

It was a great moment, and one of the highlights of the whole tour for us. Really cool.

It was a good game with many lead changes, but it was a pity that London Irish lost in the last minute. Although they lost, we were very involved in cheering them on (especially Ryan).

"IRRIISSSHHHH NOOOOO!!!!"
