Thank goodness the Springboks’ intense one point World Cup Rugby semifinal triumph over England in Paris was on a Saturday night, and not a Sunday like their quarterfinal a week ago against France. The last thing our economy – and our health for that matter – needs is a stressful start to the week. On Saturday, the Springboks somehow found a way to beat England 16-15 after being outplayed for most of the 80 minutes.

Kolisi said: “It was really ugly, but that is what champions are made of. Credit to England. They were written off before the World Cup but pulled themselves together. But we found a way to fight back into the game.”once again dig deep for a third straight week? A country, though, is super proud of their warriors, regardless of what happens on Saturday.
