Okay, so I was super pumped about the men’s rugby semi-finals. I’m a huge rugby fan, you know? Always have been, always will be. It’s in my blood!
First things first, I gotta get tickets, right? So, I started scouring the internet. Man, it was a bit of a jungle out there. A bunch of websites were claiming they had tickets, and I wasn’t sure which ones to trust.
- I saw some talk about tickets on the official Rugby World Cup site, but those seemed to be long gone.
- Then there were some other sites, but they looked a bit sketchy, to be honest.
- I even heard some buzz about Northampton Saints putting up extra tickets for a Premiership semi-final, but that wasn’t the match I was after.
Anyway, I kept digging, and I finally found a site that seemed legit. Fingers crossed! I snatched up a couple of tickets before they disappeared. Score!
Game day rolled around, and the atmosphere was electric. Everyone was buzzing with anticipation. This was a rematch of the 2019 World Cup final, so you know it was gonna be intense. I heard some chatter about empty seats, but honestly, I didn’t notice. I was too focused on the game.
Now, I’m not gonna lie, these rugby guys are tough. There were a few moments where players were squaring up to each other, all intense and ready to go. It’s like, part of the game, you know? They’re trying to psych each other out, show who’s boss. It’s all about that mental game.
The match itself was a nail-biter. These games are short, just two halves of seven minutes each with a short break in between. Every second counts. It’s a sprint, not a marathon, unlike the traditional 15-a-side rugby I also love.
In the end, it was a great match. I won’t spoil the results for anyone who hasn’t seen it, but let’s just say it was a game for the ages. I’m already looking forward to the next one!
What an experience!
Rugby is my passion, and seeing this match live was an unforgettable moment. I’m so glad I went through the trouble and got the tickets.
