Wow, that's cool!! The olds are on a tour following the team. Being from Wellie they will feel right at home!!
Hope they're having fun!
They chose an excellent week for Cape Town - it's unseasonably warm and dry this week.
Today is 29 degrees and while it gradually cools towards the weekend, it should still be sunshine. -

That will depend on who loses ... and who they blame
EDIT: actually that simply determines WHO does all the blowing...

They thought the atmosphere at Ellis Park was amazing, just crazy getting in and out. They walk okay, but would have preferred it if the bus could have got them a little closer!!

If they're planning on being at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday best you warn them that vehicles can't get too close there either. But it is not super far from basically any drop-off point, and pretty flat.
Glad they enjoyed the Ellis Park atmosphere. It can be something special when heaving.
Cape Town likewise will be good for different reasons. Likely they will see a lot of AB jerseys there..! -

Assume their tour will take them to Caprice at Camps Bay the day after the test for a long recovery / celebration session?

Just an apology from SA Rugby over the timing issue with flyover etc.
Best wishes
BI mean…very generous…but also - it’s also a bit embarrassing to think that some of us kiwis are genuinely upset about this - its a fucking A380, it’s kinda hard to time and manoeuvre perfectly!
All seems a bit precious to me

Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are wicked - so many good wines and such beautiful scenery

Celebration or commiseration over a nice Pinotage sounds like just the ticket

Re Sotutu, do we know why he has been absent from the Auckland team lately?
Because he's playing for Counties?
Fuck I am getting old!
Edit - just checked and he wasn't in the listed team this week for Counties. He wasn't a couple of weeks ago too when I bothered to take a look. Is he injured?
Hard to know because their social media is terrible.

My uncle used to be the head gardener at Boschendal
Visited him for the day when I was over that way many moons ago
Fabulous tour of the gardens, house and a super lunch with lubrication

@Brandon No apologies needed IMHO. Teams can respond to the Haka how they see fit as look as they don't physically assault the players during the challenge, then I expect the ABs to fight back.
Good sentiment Sparky.
Interestingly enough - the Boks (and Bok fans) relish the tradition and honour of facing the Haka.
Which is why Saturday's debacle probably riled us up more than you Kiwis!
The plane - couldn't be helped. But the stadium DJ... abominable. -
