Fitness Friday: It’s the Rugby World Cup!

It’s been so long since I posted a Fitness Friday so today I wanted to bring it back for a very good reason; the Rugby World Cup! I have been a fan of rugby all my life, as I have spent my fair share of Saturdays cheering on my brother’s team on a freezing cold rugby pitch somewhere in Suffolk and as a family, we love sitting down to watch the rugby on TV at the weekend together. Obviously, I am really excited for one of the most nail-biting world tournaments to begin:

As much as I enjoy watching local teams or friendlies on TV, the Rugby World Cup is my absolute favourite tournament to watch. England has my heart every year and I was kindly sent an England Rugby Shirt* so I could support my team in style. Fashion is not the focus whilst I’m sat on my sofa but I couldn’t resist adding some patriotic red lippie. I will watch the games in my leggings, this shirt and my Harry Potter slippers – although as much as JK Rowling might wish, I won’t be supporting Scotland!

I love shouting on the players on the sofa with my family and Snapchatting reactions to friends who are also watching across the country. My dog is always miserable in any blog photos I attempt to take but she’ll be watching with us too! I’ll drink some gin and tonic instead of beer and stuff myself on nachos and dip. I keep desperately entering competitions as I would love to be able to attend a live match, but I think realistically I’m going to be doing my watching from the sofa. I’m so excited for the next six weeks and cannot wait to spend my weekends watching plenty of sport; let’s hope England do well!

Are you a rugby fan? How will you be watching the game tonight and the rest of the tournament?
