With no allegiances to either Tonga or Samoa in the rugby we enjoyed their rugby match up last weekend. As the Tonga team is staying in a suburb of Montpellier, they have picked up a large force of supporters for their matches here and it was good to see them hang on to beat their more fancied opponents. Not that we fancy their chances against England to secure a spot in the second round of games!! On Sunday we will make the short drive up to Montpellier to see the wallabies in action against Fiji; a match we expect them to easily win. There is a noticeable Aussie component around Montpellier at the moment and the team has a lot of local support with the bars and cafes draped in flags and signage.
