"We are the champions, my friends
 And we'll keep on fighting, till the end
 We are the champions
 We are the champions
 No time for losers
 'Cause we are the champions... of the world!!"

That about sums it up perfectly. Rugby World Champions!! And it feels good :)

We all went through to Nic's house yesterday afternoon, stocked up with beer, biltong, droe wors, boerewors, Leon Schuster songs, rugby jerseys, the list goes on. Had an awesome braai in the afternoon and drank a beer or six while waiting for the build up to the game.

There was a decent crowd of us there, and only three Englishman. Shame. It worked out better than a pub - at least you could stand without getting knocked, could get a drink easily and could move around if you wanted to.

After the game, we caught the last tube back to Ealing Broadway and while the others starting going home, Justin and I decided to go clubbing and went to LA Confidential, which was right in Ealing. After spending most of the night there, we walked back to their house and got in a few minutes to 6 this morning :) Since Keith had to be home quite early for hockey, I was woken up at 8, feeling quite literally the opposite as to what I was feeling 12 hours earlier. Oh well, self inflicted I guess.

But that feeling of being world champions... I'm already used to it :)
