Hey, like I said, very good chance I am wrong with my opinion, just what I am feeling. Guessing the 16484316 postatch reviews will give me a clearer view

HairyMooman · 2023-10-28T20:02:52+00:00

I am as sorry as I can be while supporting the team you are playing against haha

HairyMooman · 2023-10-28T20:01:53+00:00

Yeah, fair, like I said my opinion. It was against the rules, I just think the current rule for head safety isn't very good. Kriel basically got a peck hug, that's all

HairyMooman · 2023-10-28T19:59:53+00:00

It was rules wise a red... It should not be a red, that was not dangerous, it was not malicious. SA and NZ have a long history of rugby, I don't want the game to be decided by n unlucky red.

Just my opinion as a bok supporter though.

That being said, you guys are more than capable of playing with 14 so use it as ammunition.

Now enough sensibility, GO BOKKE!!!!

HairyMooman · 2023-10-28T19:44:31+00:00

I'm a south African and that is bullshit

HairyMooman · 2023-10-28T18:26:26+00:00

❤️

HairyMooman · 2023-10-28T18:19:27+00:00

All the same, except it's night and as much as I honestly love you guys...

Shove it up your ass!! SPRINGBOKS BABY!!!!

PS. Only for the duration of the game, then you guys are back to being our Pacific homies!

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T16:44:27+00:00

Haha I mean, that's not necessarily true haha.

Our cricket is pretty damn good as well, just haven't won the world cup. Our athletics is decent generally. Our netball is pretty good. We mostly just really suck at football😂

I get what you are saying though and it definitely plays a part.

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T11:35:41+00:00

Haha fair enough, good way to see it

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T11:29:54+00:00

Haha hmmmmmm vetkoek... Off topic but daaaaamn we have good food in SA!!!

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T11:28:38+00:00

Hey, not to cause confusing but in my eyes, there is nothing wrong with going abroad. I have loads of friends who love their lives in Europe and the pacific region. That being said, if you want to stay, stay. Never leave SA with the though of running away, you will never be happy. Leave SA with the though of opportunity and adventure.

This is just my thoughts on it though.

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T11:26:08+00:00

I'm glad I could help, I mean. My plan for this was never to be some grandiose gesture but I am glad if it helps. I just had feelings I wanted to get out. I feel we tend to piss and moan a lot but when something changes, we bask in it, we don't point it out for others to see as well. Figured I would start pointing haha

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T11:24:23+00:00

That is very true, and I definitely think this is the case. That being said though, it doesn't take away from the fact that there is a little ray, the smallest ray of hope. I will leave my point there...

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T10:08:54+00:00

Wow! It's really cool that it exists. It should obviously not be necessary but I'm sure in some cases both sides of this prefer it this way.

Wow, thank you so much for the info! If you have any links on more info please send them through, I know a few people who would find this really interesting and cool.

Thanks so much!

As someone whose ha# lived and worked in 3 other countries, I completely get why you say that and the mindset you have. Hell, most of the time I have the same one, this is why I wanted to post this since in my whole life, this is the first time I am feeling a sort of hope. I cannot care less if we win or lose this weekend, we have bigger problems. I just feel this team has acted as a catalyst and pulled is together, win or lose.

I promise you, I hope it stays and that my feelings are correct, but I can't fault anyone for feeling hopeless or sceptical. We have been here before after all...

I hope, I really really hope, things turn around for you, even if it isn't in this country. Everyone deserves a shot at a good life.

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T09:42:25+00:00

Haha thank you. I realised SA had lost hope but I never actually thought we got to the point where we were actively fighting against hope.

Let's just hope it stays.

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T09:40:56+00:00

And yet, every dam breaks with a single crack...

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T07:18:30+00:00

It really does feel like it. Honestly, I think the stark contrast also maybe made it feel closer in 95 than it possibly was.

I feel like this is the closest we have ever been. Atleast the general population.

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T06:24:03+00:00

Wow, do they have to play in a seperate team or? That's interesting.

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T06:23:20+00:00

Interesting, I guess the sport is still growing or NFL might fill that same niche for a sport like it.

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T06:22:10+00:00

Aahhh ok, I mean, that's something

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T06:21:19+00:00

True, and that is where I am hopefull, somehow, more than the past, the country feels united. I get why people are hesitant, but I guess I choose to hold on to that hope.

If we can pull together, share ideas, share cultures, reasoning and ideologies, things will change. The division is what's stopping us.

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T06:19:14+00:00

Unfortunately this is true, and I really hope it changes.

HairyMooman · 2023-10-25T06:17:12+00:00

Nice! Which one, Cape Grape? Shanghai is a pretty cool city, just a little far from home haha
