Bakkies

To Murrayfield to watch the Scots being crushed by the Springboks. Chief destroyer is the South African being hoisted; one Bakkies Botha. He's a legend for his hardness. There are Twitter pages containing 'jokes' about this such as - Bakkies Botha will never have a heart attack. His heart isn’t nearly foolish enough to attack him

The South Africans won 28-nil. They seemed so much bigger and more powerful. In some ways the Scots were lucky to get nil.

Great day though. To see these guys in the flesh and to be close enough to appreciate the skill of high class rugby players was a delight.
