With the pool stage of the World Cup now finished, attention has wandered to the Quarter Finals which will begin on Saturday November 8.
But before I get all swept up in that, there's a memory or two that I wanted to share. On Saturday, during the South Africa v Samoa game, we all saw the spectator, run on to the field and try to tackle the South African goal kicker as he converted the final try.
What we all didn't see was after the tackle, all of the Samoan and South African teams, swapped jerseys, then formed a circle, and then prayed together. It was awesome to see.
It brings back for me, memories of the Springbok side of 1995, who after beating New Zealand in the final knelt down and prayed. What a way to celebrate!
