World Champs!!!!

Having a pretty uneventful day by normal standards, but a pretty peachy day by Bali standards (surf; breakfast; beers; late lunch with beers; snooze; sunset with beers; dinner with beers ) Celia and I start talking up the the evenings rugby over a few more Bintangs. A few more later and a decision has been made where we will watch the 3AM kick off, we head to bed for a well earned power snooze.

The alarm goes, leaving me enough time to psyche Celia and myself up witha few "come on Bokke" and telling Celia about the time Jake White and I discussed rugby tactics after a Sharks game at Loftus. I put my pristine white away Springbok jersey and head for the bar on foot to Kups Corner. The game is an entirely tense affair with scoring oppotunities falling to both teams, but its the solid defense of the South Africans that pulls us through. A special mention must go out to Victor Matfield, Bakkies Botha, Butch James, \percy Montgomery and out Captain John Smit for allowing me the pleasure of seeing the irritatingly loud English we were watching the game with, walk out sans pride walk out before the end of the game!!
