One of those lineouts....

Here's one of our teammates who got inconvenienced by one of our opponents. I'm pretty sure he was inconvenienced because he offered his services to our club. Oh, did I mention that we were playing his club?

Here's the famous venue...Twickenham Stadium in Twickenham, England.
This was the match between Italy and England
October 8, 1991

After the Italy vs. England world cup match in London, we headed down to the Harlequin Pub. It was terrific meeting new ruggers from all over the world. You could discuss rugby, other stuff and of course partake in consuming pints. Being such gentlemen as we all are, we didn't buy ouselves too many pints. We bought many pints for each other.

Here's a ticket stub to USA vs. England World Cup match.

This was one of if not the best Rugby pitches I saw while touring. "Cardiff Arms"...Wales

We played Cwmbran R.F.C.(somewhere in Wales)

We're at Cwmbran R.F.C.'s clubhouse.

Speaking of Wales, I'd like to thank a good friend Peter Smith who once played with the Bristol Football Club when they toured the states and stopped over in Mobile, Alabama. He graciously put me up for a couple of nights in Bristol, England.

Some of us waiting on the "Tube"

Had to check out a castle or two.... This is Warick Castle.
