A sad day for the Springboks

With the Rugby World Cup in full swing, South Africa has been fully engulfed in rugby mania, which came to a head in a 7am (!!) quarterfinal game against Australia this morning. Unfortunately the defending champions weren't able to pull off a win, largely due (as I'm told) to some questionable calls by the ref. I won't dare try to explain the details of the game (rugby is not my specialty), however it was certainly exciting.

Needless to say, moods are bleak in Joburg this morning.

    I don't drink beer, but if I did, I don't think I would be drinking like these guys at 7:00 am in the morning. But if they play rugby, they are a lot tougher than me.

    Always sad news when a home team loses a big game and knowing the popularity of rugby, I can well imagine the gloom! You caught the feeling perfectly in the faces of these guys! Hope you have a great week ahead, Susie!
