The line has grown, thank goodness. There are more rugby crazy people in this city than I thought.
Hundreds of them, winding like a giant snake from the ticket box, down Burns Street, and into Neville Street. With Mum in the lead.
Some are in sleeping bags, others have brought chairs to sit on and radios to listen to. One lady even has her knitting, which is blue and gold, and looks like a scarf.
Two old men in woolly pompom hats are playing Scrabble on a little fold-out table they've brought along.
My job is to bring Mum bags of hot chips and flasks of boiling water for her liquorice tea. I wear a green balaclava to make me look like someone else.
Well ... it's either that or a paper bag and I think a paper bag would make me stand out rather than blend in.I like to be as anonymous as possible. Not like Mum.
