Twickenham: one thing I love about this country



One of the things I enjoy the most about this country is rugby at Twickenham. It's my second time since I moved to England. I have to admit I don't yet appreciate all the subtleties of the game, but I love the experience. Twickenham is the temple of rugby, and there is something magic about going to an international sports event with an 80,000 crowd drinking and singing together, and even applauding the opponents when they manage a good play. Despite the appearances, Rugby is an incredibly civilized game and watching it live tells you a lot about this country. So far from the reality of live football in Europe!
