The civilised way for a day at the Rugby - 3 course lunch at Restaurant Garrigue at the local golf club before hand

Short trip with a four police bike escort to Stade de la Mosson at Montpellier ( they must of thought we were important )
Close to the action - the Australians warming up before kick-off

The crowd builds up - lots of green and gold and great atmosphere with mexican waves, brass band and bullfight music

The Australian and Fijians do a lap - Georgie gets a TV camera up his nose
