London Irish Tag Rugby Festival Trip - 25th February 2018

Today my Playing Advantage Wasps Rugby group have been invited by London Irish RFC to a tag rugby festival and to be guard of honour at the match afterwards.

We set off from the Ricoh Arena at 07:20 in the morning on our way to the Madjeski Stadium, Reading.

We have arrived and are getting ready in the indoor training dome behind the Madjeski Stadium.

Warming up.

Some fun games.

Then we were welcomed to the festival and met all the other teams.

There are teams from Saracens, Worcester, Castle, Bath and London Irish.

We were also told who we were going to play.

The schedule for today.

We are all very excited!

Ready for our first match.

Against the Worcester Warriors first.

Look how big the training dome is!

We had lots of fun.

Talking tactics for our next game against London Irish.

Well done everyone!

My friend Alex and me.

Our team and some of the Brighton University Ladies Rugby team who helped us today.

Time to meet London Irish mascot 'Digger' an Irish Wolfhound.

Time for a whole tag festival group photo.

Wasps.

Digger at the front.

Time to meet some of the London Irish Players.

I told them I hope they don't get relegated because they are bottom of the league.

They thought I was very funny and said thank you to me.

Here is my autographs.

Time to head across to the main stadium now.

Celebrating with the League trophy we hope Wasps win.

Inside the Madjeski Stadium. Capacity 24,161. Home to Reading FC (currently in the Championship) and London Irish RFC.

 I am so excited I am going to get to go on the pitch.

We were all given our flags to wave in the guard of honour.

Can you see us forming the Guard of Honour ready for the players to run through?

We were on BT sport.

London Irish v Worcester Warriors.
 Final result 22 - 9.

Enjoying the match, with all my Playing Advantage friends.
