7 a side rugby
Highlights
- My first time in the Cape Town Football World-cup stadium - very impressive!
- My first experience of 7 aside rugby; ultra fast and exciting with extraordinary passes and running.
- South Africa winning all three of its matches. Australia didn't do so well but I wasn't Australian for the day, so it didn't matter.
- Sam and Claire as devil and angel. They looked great!
- Lots of wonderful costumes.
- The wonderful atmosphere in the stadium, helped along by rousing music and kiss and dance cams.

The Sydney Swans verse the West Coast Eagles
Ally and I watched this with work mates at the Sydney Olympic Village. What a match! The Eagles pipped the Swans by one point in a hotly contested battle. Not a bad game - this Australian footie!

South Africa's Rugby World Cup Triumph 1995
As a South African, the 1995 Rugby World Cup final was one of the most electrifying and emotional moments of my life. The tension was almost unbearable as we watched the Springboks battle the mighty All Blacks in a match that went into extra time, with every kick and tackle holding the weight of a nation’s hopes. Jonah Lomu, the towering force of the tournament, had been unstoppable throughout, but our team’s resolute defense rose to the challenge, making the victory even sweeter. Joel Stransky’s iconic drop goal to seal the win was a moment of pure euphoria, and seeing Nelson Mandela step onto the field wearing Francois Pienaar’s No. 6 jersey was a poignant symbol of unity and reconciliation in a country still healing from its past. It wasn’t just a game—it was a powerful moment of national pride and a reminder of what South Africa could achieve together.
