This was not a night for the neutral. Where we live now was not the thing. What our family did or does, who we look like and how, what strange journey we had taken to be here, and what we believe the Bok can do for us and why: unimportant.The blood which washed down to the divided sea all these years in an often unbeloved country is not bad.
This squad comes from thirty schools; from all over the show. They do their jobs across the globe, as do so many of their supporters. Knock the furious French hosts out, floor the ferocious English in the rain, and find a way to stop All Black tries; three weeks and three points. The covered concourse was cool. Good friends Malcolm Marx and Vincent Koch sat just as we went in and out, a few metres below Novak Djokovic, who joined Roger Federer in backing the Bokke.
It was no coincidence that the two best scrums were in the final match of the biggest tournament in the history of the sport. The big idea is to have mismatches on the pitch throughout the game: make the whole match a mismatch. But whilst the stadium and spectators around the world saw Bongi Mbonambi, the recipient of racial abuse charges in the week and unable — as none of us are — to prove a negative, down and in pain, the beautiful little girl next to me saw her daddy hurt on the grass, and felt her mommy worried.
One kick had to miss and then another. All the chances for a try were gone and made up for anyway; Kurt-Lee’s first ever squandered squeeze as a Bok was balanced by his tackle of Ioane. Siya not seeing the pass; but he stopped fourteen All Blacks cold at the pass. Pollard’s offload to du Toit, whose tip to de Klerk was wasted with a rushed pass? There was the blonde bomber finding Dalton Papali’i’s ankle just before the Blue flank found space.The disputes. The controversies.
