RUGBY BLUES GIVEN A LIFT

摘要

Still reeling from the home nations' Rugby World Cup losses, an uplifting tale from a dedicated fan and tax geek. After being lucky enough to experience Japan's 34-32 win over South Africa in Brighton, said fan boarded the train packed with shocked South African and joyous Japanese fans from the tiny Amex ground at Falmer to head back to Brighton. On arrival, a tall, bearded Afrikaner turned to the bubbly Japanese fans and said: 'You, you stay on the train!' A moment of unease as the Springbok fans left the train, before forming a row of honour for the Japanese to leave the train. Cheers and bows all round. Touching.
