I know a lot of people here hate sports ball, but for a troubled country such as South Africa, it is a great unifier.
Congratulations Springboks! πΏπ¦πΏπ¦πΏπ¦πΏπ¦
And hopefully the Proteas will manage to not be chokers this time around, and copy the success in the cricket world cup.
I like watching rugby, yet on DirecTV, in America, the powers to be seem not to be wanting to broadcast any matches. Oh well, the Springboks are a very good team, heck all contenders can easily take the championship. The Haka is something special to view, though. Makes me proud of the kiwis.
I remember as a small girl getting up in the early hours to watch the ABs play SA and the pride of being a Kiwi especially as we were a force to be reckoned with. Our population was only 3 million then but the world went woke and sport suffered along with everything else. :(
And of course there was the final in SA between SA and ABs 1995 where the only way they could win was to poison us. Yes it's true.
Whatever it takes to make yourself feel better 28 years later. Fantastic defense won it back then, and the same won it today.
Joel Stransky, you beauty!
Just a bit of history sorry.
