Rugby and beer go together like Swedes and beer. Swedish rugby fanatic Mattias Dahlstrom proves both points for the price of one!

Even if the UNOB itself didn't exist when we met!
It's taken months of cajoling and not so subtle persuation tactics, but finally (with the help of free tickets to the Vermont Brewers Festival) Matti has come aboard as our first custodian of the Vermont beer guide.
Based in Burlington, he's ideally placed to try the state's delicious beverages and has conducted extensive, erm, let's call it PRE-research during the time he's lived in Vermont. Read on for a transcript of the only NON-proposal speech to date.
"I really don't think I have time to be a
Delegate."
"You'll be great. You're a natural."
"The other reviews are
all so good.
I can't compete."
"You'll be great. You're a natural."
"How
many sampling tickets do we have left? I think I'm all beered out."
"See?
I told you you're a natural..."
