Rugby Fever in Lyon

The final game for the Rugby World Cup was held last week. We were lucky enough to be in Lyon that day to witness an interesting cultural moment as the French were positioned against the New Zealand All Blacks in the match that would decide the best Rugby team in the world. Cafes and bars throughout the city were broadcasting the game and rowdy French fans were spilling out of them as they rooted for their national team.

The All Blacks would go on to defeat the French by one point but at least the French fans had some delicious local wine to drown their sorrows in.
