the effects that the rwc has on south africans needs to be studied because nothing unites this country like the bokke does?? every strand of DNA in my body gets replaced with RSA the second the boks walk onto the field and i know i鈥檓 not just speaking for myself when i say that
all blacks v springboks final !! southern hemisphere grit, determination and depth to grind is what makes the difference. all blacks did it last week against the irish, springboks have done it two weeks in a row against france and now england.
unimaginable is the southern capability to dig deep (into their blackness - aye ardie 馃拃馃ぃ) and push on to come out with a win is just something the northern hemisphere need to learn if they want to understand what winning the webb ellis cup feels like.
Romain Ntamack is unable to play the rugby World Cup due to injury, and I鈥檓 supposed to still care about this? Please cancel the World Cup, move it to whenever he鈥檒l be better. We can鈥檛 have the rugby World Cup in freaking France without Romain Ntamack.
like, I am happy for my country and the genuine joy that people around me have felt throughout this world cup has been a balm for the soul. it feels silly to say because logically this is just a sport and there are so many more serious things happening in the world rn, but it has honestly felt like the country came together behind the national team, more so than in previous years. it has been wonderful to experience.
and yet. I still couldn't bring myself to actually watch the game, it's just so boring is the thing. but the vibes, the gees, oh ! the gees has been excellent !!
Ok I鈥檓 reading rain wilds now and Sedric thinks about how attractive Hest is in the exact same way the Fitz thinks about the Fool? And actually that鈥檚 not even true bc Fitz鈥檚 is way gayer? Ms. Hobb what was the thought process here
K I'm crying bc my country is currently playing in the Rugby World Cup and it could be Johnny Sexton's (Ireland's captain) last rugby match ever and the anthem played and I'm SOBBING!!!!
