lol what rugby supporters will not endure just to watch rugby...
I read that the Irish counted their lineouts in Afrikaans, which baffled the Boks quite a bit.
The Boks struggled with their lineouts and it was obvious that Victor and the other guys were not prepared to actually curb that in the match.
I suggest they should try counting in one of the other 10 official languages, and see if the Irish can beat that. lol
I am somewhat disappointed though. I missed the match and only read about it afterwards. I went camping with some friends and escaped the stressful life for just 3 days.
The freezing conditions did definitely affect the Boks performance. I believe that temperatures went below 0? That is just amazing actually. Temperatures in SA rarely or simply never goes below 0.
Congrats to your team though, they played very well and deserve the victory.
