Viewing the status updates of friends on Facebook, I find references to the Springboks and messages of support from Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Cape Town and the fortunate guys and girls in Durban. We will again be having the best possible Saterday – a day with family and friends –dressed in green Springbok jerseys and discussing the Bok team from player 1-to22 [or is it 23?]
I will be scanning the internet and read the stories on KEO and other websites. Springbok rugby is the ultimate experience for many of us – something that amounts to much more than just 90 minutes of play – but something that is a life experience shared with those close to us!
Since my dad passed away 2 years ago, I miss the quick half time telephone call and the post match interview call to discuss who played well and what we should have done better. I am not ashamed of admitting to being a rugby fanatic – I can only fell sorry for those who miss out on the enjoyment of Springbok rugby – and wish for them to find enjoyment in another life experience.
May the Springboks play well and know that myself and many more appreciate them, pray for them and are supporting them all the way!!
