O’Sullivan who plays for Firwood Waterloo Rugby Club said; “It was amazing, the atmosphere was great and I shook hands with Thierry the French captain and said good evening to him in French!” Alexander who plays for Chinnor Rugby Football Club added; “I got to mascot for New Zealand, the crowd was unbelievably loud and I got to meet Richie McCaw in the tunnel and had a few words with him. I think New Zealand will win the World Cup.”
