So much has been said and written between 10:45 yesterday evening when SA won the Rugby World Cup and this morning that I am not going to repeat anything.  Just visit Amatoma<\/a> and you will have enough reading material to keep you busy on this Sunday.<\/p>\n

Pictures like these say so much about what the game and winning it meant to ordinary South Africans back home. <\/p>\n

I am proud to be a South African.  Congratulations to the team and all who was involved with the team.  It was a long and sometimes bumpy road but you have made it.<\/p>\n

Now onto New Zealand 2011 where we can become the first team to successfully defend the cup.<\/p>\n

Lastly I have to take my hat off to England.  Everybody wrote them off when we thrashed them 36-0 but they showed guts and went on to surprise everybody by reaching the final and gave us 80 minutes of nailbiting rugby.<\/p>\n
