We were in Dunedin the morning of Friday Feb 13th when we found out there was going to be a rugby match that night -- the Otago Highlanders (obvious Scottish connection :)) against an Australian team called the Brumbies. It was a little windy and chilly out so we bought a souvenier Highlanders toque (known as a 'beanie' here), had some haggis and local brew, along with some scotch for dinner, and headed to the game. The stadium was surprisingly empty, but it was still great fun and a memorable experience (and tix were only $25 NZ!).
Unfortunately, our team The Highlanders lost 33-31 against the stronger aussies.
Mmmmm Speights. Pride of the South. Plastic bottles that were allowed to be taken into the stands :)
Nice looking toque!
Syd.
