Heyneke Meyer and the Springboks and not looking forward to next weeks 3rd/4th place playoff.

After putting in an enormous effort, the Springboks came up short against New Zealand in the World Cup Semi Final. Indeed after Pat Lambie put over a penalty with ten minutes remaining, it seemed as if South Africa were on course to beat the All Blacks.

It doesn’t mean anything for me. It’s like kissing your sister.
