Reminder: TRHs William & Catherine will watch the Wales vs. New Zealand International Rugby match in Millennium Stadium, Cardiff on Nov 24
 
Is this the All Blacks that Wales will be taking on? Or another team from Middle Eart....I mean, New Zealand. :D

I hope they do a Haka for TRH. One the more impressive ones I ever saw was when the New Zealand Paralympic Rugby Team played Canada's Team in a Friendly that was shown on one of the Sports Networks up here. To see those guys doing it literally sent the chills flying down my spine. :)
 
There will be a haka, there always is. Although I personally feel that allowing any sports team to perform a sinister war dance before a sporting fixture is totally unjustifiable.

Definitely a Haka - kick-off is 17:15 UK time

Victoria Arbiter ‏@victoriaarbiter My sporting ignorance comes to the forefront when W+K attend matches! The couple sang the Welsh nat ant before the rugby version of kick off

The chances of Wales beating NZ are nil. They haven't done so for over 50 years. Wales will do well to get on the scoreboard at all - it's currently Wales 0-33 NZ with over 30 minutes of play still left.

If you want to watch an enjoyable rugby match, best to watch any game other than those in which NZ are playing.
 
I think they musta just shown them on the big screen the camera panned to them and everyone went nuts and then they realized it and had the biggest smiles on their faces like "oh god get us off!" haha real cute

The 2nd to last one - Catherine is cracking up - love to know what was said!
 
Yeah, I saw when they showed up on the big screen the crowds cheered.
 
We have flood at our home too, says Prince William | UK News | Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express

I love the Mail's updated headline

"Your writing hasn't improved, Wills! Duke of Cambridge shows his wife the visitors book at the home of Welsh rugby that he signed with his mother, aged 12"

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge show their humanity

Carolyn Hitt: Why spoil beautiful rugby with such ugly tactics? - Columnists - News - WalesOnline

(The title of the article applies to page one of the story about the rugby match and not the page I've linked to about W&C)

A funny quote from William for a fan with a camera and also TRH told the WRU they wanted to meet with the injured athletes rather than the 'great and the good' at a pre-game reception.

This couple is just amazing! :)

I really love the fact that this couple is not afraid to take pictures with members of the public. I know that if I were to ever meet these two on a walk-about, I would definitely want a picture for my own album. They're very down to earth and personable, which I'm sure appeals to their future subjects.

Prince William sent a video message to the Football Assocation today congratulating English soccer's governing body on its 150th anniversary

Prince William was unable to attend an event today celebrating the Football Association's 150th anniversary because he was on RAF duties.
 
@RoyalReporter: Prince William will meet FIFA president Sepp Blatter and UEFA president Michel Platini before making a speech at the UEFA congress.
 
I seem to rememer a few weeks ago that William met with Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester Utd, given the huge news today in the uk of Sir Alex's retirement and (it is well know how secretavie sir alex is) did William know (in his president of he fa role-i'm not sure of another link between them!
