So, today marks a highly anticipated day throughout South Africa – – – & I believe in a lot of other countries as well!!!! Today was the kick-off of the Rugby World Cup 2011. Myself not being at all bothered about the sport makes me socially inapt (at least in this country!!!). 🙂 When I logged onto facebook today, my whole screen exploded with images of the south african flag, or a springbok, or both!!!! Crazy…. 😉
I decided that today’s post – – – to keep in the spirit of the event – – – should be at least related to the big RWC!!!!
I took this pic a few years back with my normal samsung digital camera at a game between the Springboks and Ireland/Wales (or someone of sorts… oops!!!)
In the most excited tone that I could muster….: “Gooooooooo bokke!!!!!!” 😉
LIVE . TRAVEL . LOVE . CAPTURE 
Loved your country when I visited last year for the FIFA world cup. Wishing the springboks all the best 🙂 The beginning of the rugby world cup reminded me of my post about the beginning of the FIFA world cup: http://2riversphotos.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/the-pride-of-a-nation/ (hope you don’t mind me sharing it here, feel free to delete it :))
