Posing as pirates in the torrential rain

Darn it! I knew I shouldn’t have mentioned how well the weather turned out in my previous post.

So – this year’s Sevens will go down in the annals of history for a) really crappy weather and b) really awesome costumes by Wellington Batucada.

And really, when you look as fabulous as this, who cares about a bit of rain? At least on Day 1 it started out OK and only became torrential at the very end…

ARRRRRRRRRR – avast there me hearties! Splice the mainbrace and keelhaul the landlubbers!
