A Coffee and Chat with Two "Barbarians"...

I was drawing in Flat White Coffee Shop, when the two Guys sitting next to me put in a request for a Sketch of themselves. Casually chatting, I asked if they'd watched the Autumn Rugby Internationals they said, ".........yeah mate, we played in them!" They turned out to be Andy Ellis of the New Zealand All Blacks and Will Genia of Australia, on a break before playing for the Barbarians against South Africa at Twickenham! It was a pleasure to meet them and chat about the England Team, their favourite player that inspired them and wether they would ever play in England or France. Thanks for the coffee guys, congratulations on beating South Africa and good luck in next years World Cup!
