    You see I have been trying to get my head around that as well. I've read the reports on the Travel Safe website and I just can't get my head around why they were even out?

    Its possible they thought that being in such large numbers that they would be ok to go out for a drink or a meal. There was 15 of them and they are all pretty big blokes. Surely they had some form of security or a minder with them...maybe not though. I personally wouldn't have done it, but then again I wouldn't go out in Armadale at 4am either. Guess it comes down to whether they thought they would be at risk or not, losing the game would have left them at lower risk of anything happening than if they won.

    That's fine and dandy for 1am, maybe 2am, but seriously heading home just before the sun does not give the impression of a dedicated professional athlete trying to maximise his performance.

    Not my team but if it happened with the Force I would be disgusted.

    I thought i read that they were out with some of the Sharks players as well. that would make it slightly safer.

    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White

    A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...
