WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!! And all of Ashanti Lodge, Cape Town and indeed South Africa celebrated in fine style on Saturday night and the feeling of euphoria is sure to stay on for some time.
The Kumasi Cafe here at Ashanti was packed with both England and South African supporters cheering their hearts out whilst watching the game on the big screen. There were people sitting on the bar (usually not allowed), the pool table (DEFINITELY not allowed) and by the time kick-off came, it was standing room only. The tunes of Sweet Chariot and Shoshaloza competed equally as did the painted faces of the English fans vs the Springbok horn hats!! What a night. The after party was like 10 New Year's Eve parties rolled into one and I am sure that there was many a sore head the next day. I just felt a little sorry for those European visitors from countries like Germany who don't even know what rugby is!!
So South Africa will remain champions for another 4 years and we will all walk around with great smiles on our faces for quite some time.
GO BOKS!!!
