You. The Road. Nothing else.
For those who care, South-Africa's famous Springboks Rugby team won their first IRB Rugby World cup (The Web Ellis Cup) in 1995 (ref: Film INVICTUS directed by Clint Eastwood starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon.) and again in 2007.

The 2011 World Cup is hosted by New Zealand. SA and the boks can make it a trio;):usa7uh:

BMW new Springbok sponsor

Car manufacturer BMW on Wednesday announced that it will be the official vehicle sponsor of the Springbok Rugby team.
The company's logo will appear on the player's shorts for the next five years.
“We’re delighted to announce BMW as a new member of the rugby sponsorship family,” SARU President Oregan Hoskins said. “As vehicle sponsor of the Springboks they have taken a major place in our landscape and we’re proud of the association.
“The characteristics epitomised by the BMW brand of precision and performance are also hallmarks of the Springbok team, which makes this new sponsorship such a winning combination.”
The sponsorship marks BMW South Africa’s first involvement with a leading South African national team said Bodo Donauer, BMW South Africa Managing Director.
“BMW sports sponsorships have historically epitomised the natural strengths of our brand,” he said.
“In this regard, BMW has always been involved with sports such as motorsport, golf, yachting and polo, all of which require a unique combination of power, performance, innovation, efficiency and passion in order to succeed. Rugby is no different in this regard and the characteristics of Springbok rugby, in particular, are values with which the BMW brand identifies perfectly.”
The BMW brand mark will first appear on the Springboks’ playing shorts on July 23 when the Boks take on Australia in Sydney.

Australia is Green and Gold too ;).

Either way, GO NEW ZEALAND! Hopefully they beat Argentina this week.

Well that was a tense weekend!

- Argentina played mighty, but thankfully for New Zealand the All Blacks pulled through.
- Australia and Spingboks was a tight game! Springboks should have won it, but they didn't make their chances count - and they had so many chances. But as history goes, no cup-holder has ever defended their world-champion status
- England out, now that was a shock. Especially after France lost against Tonga. France are such an up-down team.
- Wales deserved the win, although I was picking Ireland as they had a confidence

Looking forward to next week. Should be a big weekend again!
 
Well with South Africa and Australia bundled out of the World Cup, don't think there'll be much interest in the thread, but the All Blacks are still in it with the Final against France to go.

Go the All Blacks, go you good thing! What a game against Australia. Wales deserved to be in the final, but France somehow made it through.
