Interesting little tidbit from Rassies pre game interview vs Scotland when he was asked about why he chops and changes so much. His reply 'when you're in a world cup semi final i dont want the guys to panic because the oke they're used to playing with is no longer inside or outside them , so thats why we're trying out all sorts of combinations' . Bit of a paraphrase but its interesting reasoning and also illuminating he's already thinking to the World Cup and everything the Boks do is geared towards that.
Just a suggestion okes. Unfortunately, like every fan base we have a very vocal and toxic minority that unfortunately gives us a bad rep.
I now that most of us have respect for other teams, and want as many strong teams that compete in the highest level because it’s good for the game we love so much.
How about after a game that our rivals have played, against us or against another rival we actually go to their subs and give positive comments. Like praise where praise due, congratulate them on the win or commiserate for their loss?
I reckon with a bit of effort we can easily change the the perception us, to the actual lekker okes I know most of us are.
Hey?
Everyone looking super serious. Watching the other nations play has been fun and all, but I can't wait to finally see the Boks take the field. Let's GO!
Cricfeee has been down for the past bit and I can't find anywhere to watch it.
Please 🥺
