Many people,even south africans doubt that the boks will come back with the world cup.Their reasons vary from how old our squad is, to the injury scares we have had thus far.Although i do understand their concerns,here is the reason why i think the boks will come back with the William web ellis trophy(if not, they will die in the field like the true warriors they are),the boks are south africans!.Seriously, that is the only reason i see fit to provide,what i mean is that they have the south african spirit in them.This 'spirit' has been with us south africans from the very begin of this wonderful nation.when the dutch came, they soon realised that cajouling the khoisan would not help they're cause,so they used force(whether or not you are for or against this, is not the issue).Furthermore,when Dingiswayo-paramount chief of the once mighty Mthethwa clan wanted to unite the tribes in and around the north-easern interior through negotiating,he failed.But when shaka used force(again,whether or not you agree on his tactics, is besides the matter) he succeeded.What i am trying to say is that instead of knocking and pleading to be let in,the boks will rather break down the door and let themselves in!,and this is entirely fitting for the world champions,thats right,world champions! and if some of us(south africans) have somehow forgotten this,we will be reminded soon rather than later.Nisalekahle.

jingoism (and i certainly don't suffer from this).
