How the Proteas got “behind” the Boks
The Springboks had everyone rooting for them during their semi-final match on Saturday, including the Proteas.
They might be touring India and setting crazy records at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped the Proteas from supporting the Springboks during their 2015 Rugby World Cup campaign.
South Africa might have been knocked out of the tournament following a narrow 20-18 defeat to the All Blacks (POLL: Should Heyneke Meyer stay or go?), but the Proteas were behind the Boks every step of the way.
We all remember that epic celebration after Fourie du Preez’s winning try against Wales and, on Saturday before the semi-final, the Proteas found another interesting way to get “behind” the Boks.
