Name: Honeymooners Peter and Veronica Beard. From: Bedford, England. Favourite team: Bedford Blues Favourite player: Peter: Stephen Jones, my father's Welsh. Veronica: Shane Williams. The only Englishman I'd support is Will Greenwood. I don't think Jonny Wilkinson should be here. He was picked because he's a name, he hasn't earned hisplace, he hasn't played all season. He puts bums on seats. Hoping to see: Our Bedford flag being seen on the telly back home.
Q: How did you get your tickets A: We planned this for two years. We heard the tickets hadn't all been sold, so we went in the ballot on the internet. We have tickets to all the provincial matches.
Q: Do you think you paid too much A: We're hoping to get tickets for the tests, but we want to pay face value. We saw one man (an Englishman) with a wad of tickets for the Auckland test, he was selling them for 250 ($640) each. Veronica: If I'd seen a policeman ... Peter: I want the kids to benefit from the tickets.
Q: What will you do after the game. A: We're on the ferry to Picton at 3 o'clock.
