Just spent last 3 weeks in S Africa. My BIL house builder introduced me to Rugby. He played semi pro, think they call it provincial.

We watched the Springbok vs All Blacks game.

S Africa vs New Zealand.

New Zealand destroyed S Africa. Uwe, my BIL builder explained that S Africa is handicapped big time. They can only have 50% Afrikaans and rest of team, blacks.

What i saw was the most physical man to man ever. Had no clue.

80 minutes with 1 ten minute break. Zero commercials during play.

I asked him, "do you know who Derek Henry is?"

He chuckled, "yeah and I know more than 30 people that never played pro rugby that would annihilate him in a 10 yard face off."

I believed him.

Our world is not as it seems in so many ways.
