    Enjoy your stay in SA and the match at Loftus Versfeld. Test series has been building up nicely. Pity it's not three tests

    Great to see Madela square in all its glory. A lovely area in Sandton. I love the steak at the Butcher's Shop in the background.
    Good luck to Peter O'M and the boys.

    We really looking forward to this battle. Ireland is a formidable challenge. Our boks will be weighed and measured...and we welcome the challenge. Boks by 11points....the points Manie left on the park at the 2023 Wc.😊😊❤

    Hope you guys are having a fantastic time in our country! Be sure to get outside of Sandton and try some of the less touristy areas. You'll find better food and better prices.

      @@kerrylass2 Depends what you're looking for. In general, Parkhurst is fairly upscale neighbourhood with a bunch of good restaurants. Likewise, Rosebank. Both are close to Sandton. The thing with Joburg is that's fairly spread out and there are hidden gems everywhere, but they tend not to be clustered together. Are you looking for hip and vibey? Down home and comforting? Good pub vibes? High end cuisine? Let me know and I'll throw on some specific recommendations.

    As a Saffa I look forward to a great spectacle - I have a number of Irish friends, and it is a good excuse to stay in touch wherever we are in the world for each game. Of course, I would like to see all the Irish come out to SA and enjoy some sun, braaivleis and boerewors!

    Ok so this guys an example of Irish media just talking out their arse. Eben clearly said he stands by what he said but he can appreciate that what was said by Irish players and how he received it could be down to a communication/cultural differences. Pretty much acknowledging that he likely misinterpreted what Irish players meant. He wasn’t ambiguous about it at all. Come on guys, tell the full story. And Rassie was just poking you guys. He was speaking with great respect for the Irish even during the Afrikaans speaking phase of the press conference.

      Hmmm it’s not really.. eben changed his story again.. said no more then 20 but no less then 6 or 7.. but was absolutely sure it was 12.. just changing stories way too much.. id imagine one player maybe said be great to see you in the final. But eben isn’t brave enough to name a player

      Not our style unless it’s MMA. Confidence a little dented after URC exits I guess. But they are a different animal in Green. So despite some missing greats, I still think we have a fair enough chance.

    Just hope the Irish media can stop the players are tired excuse . Remember you guys last trip to sa was almost 8years ago . The south Africans play most northern emesphere teams away and that is also at the end of our regular season when our players are tired , yet we don't use that as a excuse ever .

      Nah, we got the final we wanted!
      Rematch: All Blacks vs Springboks.
      Most of us called it. The Pundits in the NH simply couldn't accept the fact that they were making emotional decisions. We on the other hand, understand the history of the rivalry between the AB's and Bokke and know how deep they dig when pulling their respective jerseys over their heads. Pundits wrote off the All Blacks. We South Africans knew better.
      Ireland needs to stop feeding off their media hype and pull off all the stops on the big stage if they want to even dream of lifting the Webb Ellis.
      World Cups:
      NH = 1 (England)
      SH = 9 (SA - 4, NZ - 3, AUS - 2)
      *Stats are not in the NH favour. NH never stood a chance at RWC2023!*
