England WAGS to visit South Africa for World Cup after all

London, Sep. 21 (ANI): Despite England coach Fabio Capello's ban, WAGS (Wives And Girlfriends) will visit South Africa just to see their men after matches.

Capello has banned WAGS from the team's World Cup headquarter in 2010 because he fears a repeat of their drunken frolics which resulted in England's loss in 2006.

However, Coleen Rooney, Cheryl Cole, Alex Curran seem to be undeterred by Capello's strict visiting rules, and plotting to jet to the matches from a luxurious 1,200-pounds-a-night base in Cape Town, The Mirror reports.

Their travel plans would mean covering around 1,000 miles on a two-hour flight to see the team in Rustenberg, near Johannesburg, then back again, it adds.

According to Lizzie Cundy, a presenter for Wedding TV's Wags World and Sporting Icons' Wives, security issues were behind WAGS' choice of Cape Town.

"The girls want to be there to support their husbands and boyfriends. They will fly in when Fabio allows the players to have a day's relaxation after games," said Cundy, 38, the wife of ex-Tottenham player Jason. (ANI)
