What kind of a former South African are you????? It is the sport of the gods. Rugby. And you should be ashamed that you are not supporting the Lions!!

Stormers finally picked up a win. I guess I have to back the Lions over the Reds. Me, I'm gearing up for the cricket WC instead as there is no way I can get any S14 rugby coverage out in Singapore.

LOL - its been a while (1984) and if I remember the Lions were England's team (right?). Never was much of a rugby fan - the only Springbok team I followed (and wish they televised games here in the US) was the cricket team.

EDIT TO ADD: My family did send me a tie celebrating the Springbok Rugby championship win back in 1996. It's an awesome tie - with the flags of all the teams who played (including England, New Zealand, etc.) - even if I don't wear ties.

Who arn't even called Springboks anymore. Our crickers are the Proteas.

So let me help you out here then. The Lions were the old Transvaal rugby team.
The Cricket team is now called the Proteas.

I'm lining up a braai tomorrow with a bundle of South Africans here in singapore. We managed to source some boerewors, and I make a mean melktert.

Jan: I think we should set up a South African WPL team, like all those islander teams; only we need Goodman to sign-up for the idea.

Ah, wish I could join you guys. Having a braai tonight though, minus the melktert (unfortunately).

Reds are killing the Lions by the way. Sucks 17 - 6 now.

Sounds like a plan Paul. No way we can loose with Leslie on the team!! You've gotta love those Durban girls!

Speaking if which, are there any websites that telecast these games live?

Not that I know of. You can get live scoring on sarugby.com.

Not sure if any Aussie site has it live.

I use PlanetRugby.
And Cricinfo for the cricket.
In the last decade I've followed more sport on the web than I have watched. Too many dodgy countries where they don't screen my stuff.

Yeah, must suck to travel the globe and live all over. ;-)

Horrible life.
I'm back in SA for two weeks in April for my boet's wedding. Family trip so no time to tour the country.

For those interested. Lions win 26 - 20!

Paul, if you in the Jhb area give me a shout, I'll buy you a castle.
