      If you saw the interview where Joost was still alive and they visited him, small said that they shoulda torn the building down. Many were not in a position to restart their lives in another country, especially the afrikaners. Most idiots don’t even know what an Afrikaner is. It’s a bit like confusing global warming and climate change, only more natural and obvious.

Those two boys were just the humblest people you could ever meet.

    It's hard to overstate Lomu's impact to rugby. I was 9yrs old during that world cup, and I can remember Lomu bulldozing those poor English players (it was in the semi-final). It was all anyone could talk about, even at school (in South Africa). When the final rolled around, it was seen as forgone conclusion NZ would win, coz how could you stop him.
    A great man who ushered world rugby into the professional era.
