Thread Name: BS: Rugby World Cup
Subject: RE: BS: Rugby World Cup
Boglion moans that it's not much of a World Cup because only a few countries play it, and says also that in South Africa only the whites play. Now I dont know anything about South African sport so I cant comment on that, but I do have a lot of friends(who are black) from Zimbabwe, which borders on South Africa. And they are all rugger fanatics. They have a fantastic rugger song called "Shosholosa" (which I'm pretty sure is South African in origin) which they sing magnifiecently.(They also sing Swing Low as well, but that's another story). Anyway, I just thought I'd mention this in case people are deluded into thinking that rugger is just a white sport.
