South Africa Loves Rugby!!

So while in Cape Town I wanted to live and experience everything the locals did. Rugby is definitely one of them. As baseball, basketball and football are to Americans, Rugby is to South Africa. The team is called the South African Springboks, Bokkies for short. A couple of us were lucky enough to get tickets to the Junior World Championship game (players under 21). They played New Zealand, whom they have a big rivalry against. I even got a Springboks women's jersey for the occasion. There was so much energy in the stadium, it was a sold out game. We had great tickets and were able to get very close to the field. Guess who won...the BOKKIES!!!







You can't drink alcohol in the stadium so we took a break in the bar.







The Springboks celebrating their win!
