This was not a very difficult prediction to make, but I did kind of predict that this would happen. Our glorious rugby union has seen it fit to move the Springbok emblem off the front of the jersey, and have relegated it to the left sleeve for the World Cup. And today it has been unveiled for an already miserable South African public to see.
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers generously made special provision for an interview with 2oceansvibe Radio’s Seth Rotherham and Bruce Good ahead of the test between South Africa and Sotland at Murrayfield on November the 20th. You can listen to all of the high-pitched enthusiasm here, right now.
It seems that social media impersonators are creating a bit of discomfort within the Springbok camp. While I’m not sure I have found any that are intended to deceive the public (and media), I did find a rather comical example dedicated to one Bakkies Botha. More after the jump.

The legendary fail-whale When you happen to be an Australian Olympic gold medalist swimmer sponsored by an elite care brand, it’s probably not a good idea to talk trash on Twitter. If you’re a naturalised English sportsman that’s suffered a run of poor form in recent times and have since been cut from the national […]
