Game On Glovie at the shock Japan rugby result
 |
GTN Xtra has learned that the lucky omen responsible for the shock Japan Rugby World Cup win in Brighton last night was a Greenfingers #Glovie, taken just as the match got under way.
Greenfingers Trustee Boyd Douglas-Davies was in the crowd and captured this historic #glovie before the amazing shock result - Japan won 34-32 - with a try in stoppage time - waved on by the Greenfingers Glovie of course!
Boyd has now issued a Rugby World Cup Challenge: How many Game On Glovies can we get during the world cup? If you are attending a World Cup match in the next six weeks take your Glovie with you and send us your Game On Glovie to: trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
The Glovie will undoubtedly be regarded as a Japanese symbol of good luck from now on and feature in all Japanese Gardens. GTN Xtra expects Gardenex to get a flood of calls from glove maufacturers seeking to get "good luck" export sales in Japan and the Greenfingers team now have UK based Japanese business people as a new fundraising target.
