This unbelievably sound beer on a train story is what makes the Rugby World Cup so special

Fair play

A great bunch of lads.

The world has descended upon Britain and they’re all having a ball.

There has been colour, there has been noise and there has been a fantastically friendly atmosphere spreading through the bottom of England and Wales as the tournament kicked off last week.

And, whilst there’s rivalry surely, there’s craic. And there’s a good nature about the whole thing.

To go one better, Rugby World Cup fans huddled together to create the most rugby story possible on Wednesday on a train to Cardiff for the Australia and Fiji game.

One poor passenger was a victim of train congestion stopping him from reaching the bar so he used his wit – and trusted the friendly nature of his fellow rugby fans – to get a drink back to him without having to move.

And it worked, it actually worked.

Check out this story.

This is how all big tournaments should be.
