Firstly thank you for all the kind and informative responses to my debut blog. Thank you also for all the invitations to visit your home stadiums in a number of different locations around the world – I would love to try and visit as many as possible to showcase them on my blog but I fear I may not be able to get to them all.
I would also like to thank you for informing me of two more architect rugby players – Hugo Porta and Wynand Claassen who both played rugby in the amateur era. Porta was a fly half from Argentina between 1971 and 1990 (a 19 year international career – extraordinary!) and Claassen was a Number 8 for South Africa in the early 80’s.

Moments before the singing the national anthem and my 50th Test. I scored a try in this match!

The team after beating England at Twickenham 2008. Particularly satisfying as I had been smashed by the English press during the week.

Architects: Tony Owen Partners. I took this photo one afternoon when I had my boys in the car and they shouted ‘look Dad a bathtub house’. It’s actually an award winning modern house by Tony Owen Partners in Sydney.
