THE RUGBY FAN

Although not being the most enthusiastic participant in sports, Allie is a serious sports fan, with a particular obsession with rugby.
There can't be many 16 year old girls who are experts on the many complicated laws of the game of rugby, but Allie certainly is one. With a sharp eye for a knock on or an offside she keeps up a running commentary to "assist" the referee.
Like most Scottish rugby fans she is used to her share of disappointments. A succession of signed shirts and "lucky hats" have all failed to improve Scotland's fortunes. Just as well for Allie that her other team is South Africa whose wins are more frequent and regular. Ever the diplomat, when it comes to the Jocks versus the Boks Allie will support both teams and make sure she's on the winning side.
Allie is also a big fan of Edinburgh Rugby and is a regular at Murrayfield on a Friday night, when she can get even closer to the action to offer her special brand of encouragement.
