So the Bokke took the World Cup. It was a tense game – but we prevailed and came out tops. We took Player of the Year, Coach and team of the Year!! We watched the game at Madams house and had a lamb on the spit and the build up to the game.
It was an amazing experience when we all stood to sing our national Anthem together and to have so many people in one room cheering the Bokke was almost overwhelming. We cheered and clapped and booed and chanted!!!
And there were GREAT celebrations when we won. There were tears of joy in many of the supporter’s eyes.
Today our Bokke arrived home and there were at least 2000 people at the airport to welcome them all home. I don’t know if they were even a little prepared for the welcome that was waiting for them. They deserve it, every moment of lime light and celebration.
Starting on Friday they will have the Ticker Tape parades in
I am so Proudly South African at this moment that I am convinced my blood is running green through golden veins!!
Bokke – we love you!!!
Well done, I am so proud of you all!
