An International Wager ...


The Women's Rugby World Cup kicked off in the UK last weekend and I am fortunate enough to have tickets for 2 of the group games and the Cup Final.

Last week a group of us went along to the opening game to watch England beat Ireland, it was great fun, we kitted out a couple of Aussie friends, who were passing through, in England shirts, which they willingly wore, though they did keep their coats tightly closed when the I asked a member of the Australian team if she would mind having a picture taken with them :)

This weekend England are playing the USA and we will be there cheering our team on (they are currently top of their group and looking likely to reach the semi-finals). A friend from the USA is visiting and will be coming with us, I wonder, is it wrong to give her an England shirt to wear to her first ever Rugby match?

Anyway, last week I received an email from 8thdayplanner suggesting that we maybe make the game a little more interesting. Not one to shy away from a bet we agreed the terms our wager  ...

If the USA win it will cost me either
or
8thDay, let me know which you prefer

And if England win my prize will be

  2. Of course I will.

    Now what is that strange chanting, it must be a foreign language and surely translate to ' Come on England' LoL

  3. I sent this as an email on Saturday, but no response

    "Congratulations on your big win. I didn't get to watch the game but I'm sure it must have been great fun to be there.

    If you let me know where you would like your winnings sent, I will get that out to you this week."
