RUGBY WORLD CUP KICKS OFF IN NEW ZEALAND

Rugby World Cup 2011 is so close it's tangible at last!
This evening (Friday 9th) sees the Opening Ceremony & first match of the tournament between Tonga & hosts New Zealand with a 60000 sell-out crowd anticipated at Eden Park in Auckland.

Scotland kicks off tomorrow with the second match when we take on Romania in Invercargill, and the scenes here in Southland have been enthusiastic and memorable for the squad as you may have seen on twitter (@SpaceClinics) over the past week, with vigorous Maori welcomes backing up the noisy and exciting meeting at the airport on Wednesday.

There remain tickets available for all of the matches here in Invercargill but there is no doubting how well-received the Scottish Squad have been since their arrival.
