RWC Japanese Upset

Okay so the Bokke lost to the the Japanese, making history by causing the biggest RWC upset in history. Shit happens...........

I remain a proud Bok Supporter. Something that stuck by me through the entire game was the following:

One:-
During the opening ceremony the opening song was a proudly South African song,
"The World In Union" original song by none other than South Africa's PJ Powers.

Two:-
During Prince Harry's speach he made mention of OUR very own Madiba (Nelson Mandela), OUR very own Francois Pienaar (Bok Captain at the 1995 World Cup - that we won - first time back in international rugby) and he made mention of OUR very own Joel Stransky drop goal that won us that game.

All this made me very proud to be a South African supporter. Bokke you have my support through thick and thin. If you bring the cup home FABULOUS if not we will always be proud of you!

GO BOKKE!

Let the games begin!

In the spirit of the RWC 2015...............SA we are behind you all the way!
