The Home of the World Champions

by neilward - last update: Jul 17, 2005

Twickenham is the home of English rugby,fantastic stadium set in a suburb of london..
We went to watch Newcastle falcons beat the sale sharks in the Powergen cup final,tickets for the international matches are very difficult to come across,more chance of finding Osama bin Laden....
It was a very close match with Newcastle eventually winning 37 points to 33,all supporters mixed together and a marvellous time was had by all.
Anyone like to polish this lot??

The trophy cabinet

This is the trophy cabinet in the Museum,among them are The Cook Cup and of course The Webb Ellis Trophy,( The World cup) to you and I.
The museum is well worth a visit.

Big bird !!!

As you can see,Twickenham is right on the flightpath for Heathrow,bit annoying for the locals .

In A Nutshell:"Not just about rugby,great day out."
