22 minutes of fame
The orc horn sounds. Warriors from both sides run in. The crowd cheers. Applauds. No winners, no losers. Not yet. Just players. The sides size each other up. And then the whistle. What follows is watching fourteen grown-ups trying to take control of an odd shaped ball for 11 minutes. Mangled bodies. Once they do, they run like bionic dummies. Fast and furious. Score. 5 points. And before you know it, the orc horn sounds again. 3 minutes for the DJ. Hey hey baby, I wanna know if you be my girl. The crowd rises. Dances, as if a tribal ritual. And enjoys. The break is over. The war has resumed. Jugs of cold beer everywhere. Pretty girls. Some hunks. Adorable kids. Sweet summer sweat. Match after match. Someone wins. Someone loses. The crowd always cheers. Finally, Fiji beats England. And its all over.
Seven hours of cheering, watching, dancing, talking. Argentina vs New Zealand. England vs Australia. Fiji vs Samoa. And many more. A sore butt, a tired self, and a happy smile. The Singapore Rugby Sevens was fun! See me there, next year.

It is funny. Fiji kicked england's ass, you say? They are such a small island and they still managed to beat england? A friend of mine had a demeaning statement on how england came up with many game ideas but somehow still manage to .....

Punkster,
The english team had the most good-looking men, if you ask me ;)
Jingu,
Hopefully the former ;)
Totti,
Hehe... yes the England Rugby Union is the oldest in the world. But I'm guessing the game reached Fiji on account of it being an english colony at some point of time. So there.

I think, last time, I took at look at the site counter here and said, No comments.
Where will you be? Section, box, etc? Will buy tickets accordingly.
[You get a lot of free food anyway, otherwise would have offered to buy yours too.]
Bgfs,
Oh you have to try it once. Especially the dancing between the matches was awesome fun :D
SS,
Hehehe... dont look at the counter ;)
I will be in the gallery of course. People in grandstand dont dance and cheer... they clap daintily. Tsk tsk.
And no free food! Where? When? Its an illusion, I assure you ;)
