He was the guest of Clive Woodward and went into the teams dressing room after their dramatic victory in the final.
Now its the turn of his older brother to enjoy a stroke of good fortune. The Star reports that Prince William will be in the Pacific Islands carrying out his first solo engagements on behalf of the Queen. This will be once again be combined with an invitation from Clive Woodward (now Sir Clive, of course) to take in some rugger, namely the British & Irish Lions matches against the All Blacks.
William is a big fan of rugby and is really looking forward to going to New Zealand, said Williams spokesman Paddy Harverson, although he was of course mindful of the fact that the real purpose of the trip is to commemorate World War II. He is proud to be representing the Queen, he added.
However, a spokesman for the Lions suggested that there might be more to the trip than meets the eye. Prince William has indicated that he wants to get his hands dirty, he said. This, apparently, could involve all manner of things.
The Sun reports that young Harry, who cant join in because of his gruelling military course at Sandhurst is green with envy.
No further questions.’
