1987 #1.5 - The Opening Ceremony
About this episode
After starting our series on the 1987 Rugby World Cup, we received footage of the tournament's Opening Ceremony! Naturally, we've done a deep dive. We cover Adam Sandler, the Exorcist, the New Zealand Brass Band Championships and pigeons.
A huge thanks to friend of the pod Jamie Wall for sending us the footage. Along with the matches, it can be found on this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHh47F1L0AY&list=PLnhYDJt6IKfs75_7aSyVyv_e9-dgrI7ls&ab_channel=UncleBoon-MeWhoCanRecallPastRugbyWorldCups
Also thanks to the amazing Tom Rosenthal for our theme music.
