For those who don’t know, (and by that I’m referring to all my American friends), South Africa took care of business on Saturday by smashing England into submission. A 15-6 final score is a good reflection of the true determination and sheer grit of the defense from both teams. It all went down to the kicking. If I recall correctly, both Percy and Johnnie had 100% kicks. No misses. Which meant that for once, South Africa played a tidy game and didn’t give loads of penalties away. But you all saw the game so why am I trying to give a blow by blow. GOOOO BOOOOKKKKKKKEEEEEEEE!!!!!

The game itself was nerve-wracking. I was surrounded by English. It was nail biting. A very near try that would have changed everything. What a good ref!

Thanks very much to my great support that I got in the pub and back in the camp. I was getting text messages from friends and family from around the world. Basically everyone that wasn’t English was supporting South Africa. Here’s to the Albanian honourary South Africans, here’s to the Scots, Americans, French, oh to hell with it. Thanks to EVERYONE that wasn’t English. And to the English. Thanks for a great game! Thanks for a great party afterwards. Thanks for being such good losers. There were smiles all round and laughs and jokes until the pub kicked us out. Good on you chaps!
