Around the end of January, I heard my buddy talking about an international rugby tournament hosted here in Dego each year.

Jason: Yeah, there's this international rugby tournament in February; we should go. People from all over--Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, England, France; we should go.
Me: Ok.

And I took this picture.
