Great
crowds turned out at Royal Park in beautiful sunny conditions and all
teams showed plenty of passion and enthusiasm. It was another carnival
atmosphere with plenty of colour, music and chanting from many sections
of the crowd.
The final game of round two kicks
off at noon on Saturday between South Africa and Denmark, played at St
Mary's Oval in Geelong (next to Skilled Stadium).
All
