Taking Springbok Victory to the Ozzies
Okay, so Melbourne has a few disadvantages, I had to get up at 5 in the morning to watch the world cup and I'm not a morning person.
Turns out it was the best way to start the day and we did it in style.
For those of you that don't know I have to set the scene. I'm staying with my cousin in a block of appartments in the Docklands here in Melbourne, and its an amazing place with a sea view, and there's another appartment block right next to ours. So I got up early to watch the game with the sliding doors open to let the sea breeze in cause its getting quite warm here. Anyway, fantastic game to show off what a great team we have at the moment, I spent most of the game standing up screaming at the TV and could hear some other South Africans doing the same somewhere else in the building. England might have Johnny Wilkonson, but we got Percy, Styne, Habana and the rest of the team, so we showed them how to play a kicking game. The game went the way I was afraid it would, a kicking game, and the English games have so far in the world cup been boring games to watch, but the Springboks showed them how to play a kicking game, GO BOKS!!!! We definatly deserved that win.
When the final whistle blew me and the other South Africans who were watching went nuts, screaming and whistling and cheering on the team. So I went out to the balcony to call down to the other fans and turns out the guys were just below me. Then coming out of about 5 different appartments in the other building were more South Africans and we starting cheering at each other over the void and more South Africans came out of other hiding places in our building and a guy on the corner came out waving on the Bokke glory with his South African Flag. Anyone who was out for their morning run walking between the buildings was caught in the cross fire and joined in the celebrations, by now the Ozzies were being woken up wondering what was going on, my neighbor came out onto his balcony half asleep and asked me what was going on and the lady directly above me popped her head over the balcony to say congrats.
It was AMAZING and a very pround moment to be a South African.
We cheered them on and woke up all the ozzies doing it!!!
Brilliant start to the day!! Just Pure Magic
