Champions of the World
Sunday, October 21st, 2007
I’m not much of a sports type. That is to say, I hate most sport. However when there’s a large global event I often find myself being ever-so-slightly interested…Olympics, Football World Cup and more recently the Rugby World Cup. Now days I’m expected to support my local team - and in this case that would be the All Blacks.
They didn’t do too well.
So I really had no choice but to support my original team: The Springboks.
This morning I woke up at 6am and drove the 20 odd kilometres over the Harbour Bridge to the deep North Shore to a bar called Bar Africa (well, what did you expect!?) to watch the Rugby World Cup final. South Africa vs. England. I guess by this point you can tell that South Africa won.
Even though I was up far too early for a Sunday I had a thoroughly enjoyable time watching the final. I’m glad South Africa won, and I’m glad to have been a part of an awesome, enthusiastic support party!
Go BOKKE!
