This is my prediction at least! I have no doubt in my mind that this will be the outcome.
I think that we have the determination to do it and the humble, focused attitude for the win to be possible. It might not happen, there is always, always that chance but so be it, that is sport. It is not the be all and end all if we don’t win. But we will!
An interesting discussion that I was part of the other day centred around what it would be like in Wimbledon, Putney, Essex and other areas in England that have a high SA population. I think that either way there is going to be upheaval in those areas. British pubs with losers (either way you look at it) inside pissed of and pissed in general
The combination of Saffas, Pommes, beer and win/loss outcome is potent and deadly. I sincerely hope for the sake of every Saffa over there that the Bokke destroy England on Saturday. If they don’t life is going to be considerably more uncomfortable at work, at pubs and at play for any South African living abroad.
All in all I think that the world cup this year was a success and the nation building that took place has been welcome.
Congratulations to the Bokke and England for making it to the final. May the best team win!
Tracey McGregor agrees with me… keep your eyes up lads, listen to the audio.

My step daughter and her husband are living and working in London. Not sport enthusiasts of any sort. I spoke to her a couple of hours ago and she says the City is rugby mad. (The Moscow Soccer result has received little attention).

while being at home in SA for the final would be first prize, I am very pleased that I am based in Scotland for it, as I know the Scots will be shouting with me for SA to win!
Go Jon!
Go Bakkies!
Fly Habana!
Yay!
