Thanks to Deon and Pieter from Clickatell, I was invited to the rugby game yesterday between South Africa and Australia.
I was picked up at home and then again dropped off back at home, thanks Deon for being the taxi driver. Met some great guys, Deon, Christo (he started 20Twenty bank and is now into Hotels), Andre and Arthur — was good to meet you guys. Arrived at Groote Schuur High School ground around 1pm where a great lunch was served and lots of beers consumed. Werner Greeff was the guest speaker .. think he should rather stay at playing rugby/golf than speaking 🙂
Around 2:30 we made our way across to the stadium and took our seats just in time for the teams taking to the field. What a great game of rugby. Nerve raking for the last 10 minutes or so but hey we won and that is what counts. Think we need to do better next week against the All Blacks if we want to win again. I tend to forget how much better it is to be part of 50000 people at the game rather than to watch it on TV. Yes, you have a better view of the close up game on TV but nothing beat 50000 cheering fans.
After the game we bumped and pushed our way out of the stadium back to the hospitality tent for some celebrating beers and dinner. There were some lucky draws and a fellow table guest won a hospitality package to the South African/New Zealand cricket game at Newlands in November.
Thanks again to Clickatell for inviting me.
