The Geeks Do Rugby

We've posted quite a few weird and cool geeky dress-ups on this blog. We post boardgames, figurines, cosplay, etc. Today, we want to show a different side to our love for dressing up for things we enjoy: watching rugby. Yes - sports. As in actual rugby, not the PlayStation game.

Marius, in addition to loving every possible kind of digital and board game, is also a fan of the game of rugby, and being a born Free Stater, he supports the Cheetahs, and of course the Springboks. Annalene does not always know what's happening in the world of rugby, but she does enjoy going to see live games, and even though she grew up in the Western Cape, her heart has settled in the Free State and she cheers for the men in orange as well.

Of course, we don't enjoy doing anything half-heartedly, so we tend to dress up for the occassion when we watch a game. Today, we'd like to share a few pictures of our rugby adventures, just to prove that Star Wars is not the only thing that can get us away from the PlayStation.

The Springboks also get special treatment, even though we haven't yet been able to go to a live game. This is what we looked like during the last World Cup (please note rugby-themed snacks).
