The first Super XV Rugby match outside of the Southern Hemisphere, saw the arrival of a team of 34, including Springbok captain John Smit, Tendai “Beast” Mtawarira, Jannie and Bismarck du Plessis and head coach John Plumtree.
“The RFU is extremely grateful to the Chiswick Moran Hotel for allowing the Sharks team to stay with them, free of charge,” said an RFU spokesman. “The devastating effects of the earthquake in Christchurch have united the rugby community and the opportunity for Twickenham to host the first Super 15 Rugby match outside of the Southern Hemisphere is one that we hope to take with both hands. The generosity of the Chiswick Moran Hotel is a wonderful gesture of goodwill and we hope that the Sharks enjoy their stay,”
Chiswick Moran Hotel’s General Manager Josh Cameron said: “The Canterbury Crusaders’ home stadium in Christchurch suffered major structural damage during the recent earthquake and so they were unable to host the Natal Sharks for the match as planned, as well as seven of the upcoming 2011 Rugby World Cup games. “It would have been down to the Crusaders to foot the bill for the Sharks’ travel expenses for this match, so we are delighted to be able to offer complimentary hotel rooms to the team in support of the Red Cross Christchurch Earthquake Appeal”.
The team enjoyed the luxurious accommodation and top class facilities of the hotel during their stay, while fans enjoyed the match in the relaxed and stylish setting of The Chiswick Moran Hotel’s Globe Bar! With its three 31-inch TV screens and one 42-inch screen, the Globe Bar is the perfect venue to watch all sporting occasions! Globe Bar features one of the longest bars in London, where visitors come to sip from a choice of 58 cocktails, shots, martinis and champagne cocktails, or from the extensive beer menu that has over 25 global brands!
Unfortunately there was no win for the Sharks however and the final scoreboard read 44 – 28 in favor of the Crusaders! Better luck next time Sharks!!!!!!
Watch here to see Neil Bainbridge, Sales Manager for The Chiswick Moran Hotel, tell why the hotel was happy to host the Sharks for free as a gesture of goodwill! http://www.chiswicklife.tv/NatalSharks

1. Anita McVitie
The precious thoughts I seldom say
The love I feel for you each day
The understanding that we share
The joy I feel cause I know u care
oh how I wish that we could only share
A night at Moran’s Hotel and not have a care : )
Please make this valentines one to remember
2. Tracey Broderick
To say i love u
Would not be a lie
For u my darling
U know i would die
To go to the moran
and see a great show
and to top it all off
Have my hubby in tow
3. Jenny Bourke
You ask me why I love you
My love, I’ll try to tell you
It’s the breath of life you’ve given me
It’s the smile when I smell you
It’s the blueness of your eyes
It’s the way you say you care
It’s the way my soul is incomplete
Whenever you’re not there
It’s the way you hold my hand
The way you look into my eyes
The way you capture my attention
The way you strip me of disguise
It’s the way you make me feel complete
The way you make my smile laugh
And how so naturally you make me see
You’re my other half!!
4. Nicola Brennan
There once was a man who was fine
who brought me to the red cow to dine
He showered me with roses
give ya a clue, he’s not Moses,
of course he’s my sweet VALENTINE
5. Eoin McNamara
It was in the Red Cow when I saw a sweet lass
I just didn’t know how to approach her with class.
I took a quick drink, she had beauty and grace
Her golden brown hair swept over her face.
I plucked up the courage to say my first words
I wanna be her prince in a world full of nerds.
“You look like a princess” is what I meant to say
Instead it came out as “D’ya like Home and Away?”
Lucky for me she was a fan of the Soap
And we chatted away without having a grope!
She wasn’t that type, she wanted to wait
That was fine with me too, I knew it was fate.
Seven years later and we’re still going strong
We’ve started to talk about our wedding song.
You know that it’s love when you feel it inside
It’s a natural feeling, with nowhere to hide.
To vote just Click Here!
You must be a Fan of Moran Hotels on Facebook to vote!!
The winner will be announced on Friday the 11th of February!
