2012-11 - Charlie (U12's) Dan Cole's Mascot at Eng vs. SA

By Gary Jackson
First the lunch at Richmond College and a run-through of the day by the lovely Carol from the RFU publicity team
Head to Twickers from Richmond College
Enter through the 'Spirit of Rugby' entrance.
Rehearsal starts
Players in and out, warming up, etc., whilst the kids rehearse.
A motley crew, trying to absorb the scene.
For once, Charlie is actually listening to the instructions!
Clearly, he is enjoying the experience so far... just a little nervous of what's to come.
Back in to get changed and ready.
The pitch gets a touch-up, whilst Farrell warms up.

'Swing Low' from 'The Voices', with what appears to be an 'umpar' band.

The ever present traditional mascot.
Out they come to the roar of the crowd. Those flames are hot from where we are and according to Charlie, made his hair frazzle!
They line up with the world's press snapping away.
Ready for the anthems and looking smart in their respective 'grassroots' kits
SA look for mutual comfort.
Ready for the Anthems
They open their lungs and though Charlie now knows the words, is drowned out by 80K Anglo-Saxons, not to mention Dan and Tom, who are clearly lost in the moment in their own distinctive way.
The game gets under way and we are very close to the action!
Farrell on momentarily.
Floody off for good now!
Farrell on again.
Dan takes a well earned slug.
Half time snacks.

Yes, they are hot!
Arguments commence toward the end!
Robshaw's sub-text: "Next time, I'll go for the corner!"
