I found the post...

Its a great victory actually. Given what all has been said about the coach and that we were not 'worthy' winners of the World Cup.

The usual story, 'We only won coz we never played the All Blacks in the final'

We didn't have to

Re: Springboks!

This victory is even better than,when we whipped the Australians at that famous 1 dayer cricket a couple of years ago.

Actions speak louder than words...

They proved themselves yesterday, you can't win every game and attacking the coach is rather pointless.

They must just keep there nerve and keep it coming...

Here we come Australia....

Could not agree more...

The best part was that some of the Aussie newspapers had already written the headlines before we had started playing....

Big mistake.... That was a game in a million...

I think we can fight back...

Its rather disturbing to see Kevin Pieterson playing against us. The school he attended is only 3 km from my house...

This AA ( Affirmative Action ) is really starting to be a problem...

Re: Springboks!

Boet,Kevin Pieterson can't feel too good about himself at the moment.He had to go where he had an opportunity to show his talent.It is tough living outside your country without your own people.Although we speak the same language we are SO different than them.For a starters we bath every day!

Lol...

Hence I asked you once before, Was it a good move for you? I have been abroad on holidays, but living there must be a different story.

I have always believed that you can move there, but you will always be the outsider...

There alot of people living SA again now....
