Here is a pic of my High School 1st XV rugby team when I was in matric (grade 12) in 2006. There are a few future Springboks in that picture. Here's a wiki-link to some Paul Roos info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Roos_Gymnasium

come to think of it, maybe thats how I'll have you find me at the game

I have a huge SA flag. If we do the tailgate, i’ll find some way to fly it :)

Yeah we didn’t do very well in the 2005 Tri-Nations. If you can, try and watch SA vs NZ on Saturday morning (around 01:00 in the States) from Dunedin, NZ. We lost the first test by 19-8, but homefield is everything. It’s going to be a tough tour, but hopefully we can pull it off over there in NZ. Great idea about the flag, let’s do that!!!

I have to admit

I’m an AllBlacks fan. I spent 3 months in NZ in 2003-04. I lived with Maori tribal center for a few weeks, and I caught the passion they have for rugby. Also, the haka is awesome!
I wish the US had something like that honestly. In SA and especailly NZ the entire country basically stops when the national team is playing

I love that!

Yeah I love the Haka. That is the great thing about competing internationally, and unfortunately the NFL lacks that. My dream is to have American Football take off here, it would be awesome. But unfortunately we would never be able to match the professionalism, infrastructure and resources of the NFL. That said, nothing compares to Eagles football!
