When you have an English man, an Irish man and a Welsh woman in a taxi in New Zeland? Sounds like the start of a joke doesn’t it 😂but the answer is, rugby chat. I kept quiet really as the discussions were going, well I didn’t want to rub salt into the wounds after the 6 nations result this (I mean how awesome was it for the Welsh?!).

What struck me though is how sports brings people together, it doesn’t matter about race or religion or anything, team sports are about working together but also about bringing nations and countries together. Arriving yesterday morning having travelled to the other side of the world, and rugby chat was an instant welcome to New Zealand.

After such a friendly welcome I am really looking forward to the rest of our stay here.
