    Source? I know there was a national census recently, but to say most can speak 5 languages 'fluently' seems like a bit of a stretch. For eg. Lets say you Nguni, which are majority of population they can speak IsiZulu, IsiXhosa, some English probably, most likely Ndelebele considering its also Nguni, IsiSwahili maybe, but I find it hard to believe any of the other languages are that easy to speak fluently. Unless those others sre more closely related to Nguni than I know. Others include Venda, Tswana, both Sothos, Afrikaans and Tsonga. Thats 6 that in my opinion someone from Nguni origins can't master as easily and don't have the incentive (reason) to in general. So in fact your comment is wrong, why would you post it then ? Hmm seems out of spite, but if I'm wrong in my above logic I sincerely apologize and would like to be educated.

You know how as a country we struggle to gel and be prosperous but you as the Springboks have proved to our country how even with our diversity we can come out on top. This past week our team has been humiliated, and it was shocking how some of our players have been insulted but you all stood tall, you didn't bow to the dislike of the opposition! Be strong guys, you know you can win, the world opposes you but we here are proud of you, we believe in you, so do it for our country, we love you! ❤️

    The Springboks mentality is different when it comes to the World Cup finals. I think they weren't tired, England just spooked them by executing an excellent gameplan, and because South Africa sub-conciously underestimated them we were caught off guard. A lot goes into conditioning, player preparation and recovery...there's a lot of Science behind the scenes. We shouldn't worry too much about players being tired, that's the technical team's job. My job is to were my green jersey and scream the loudest on Saturday.

The average age of the springboks is 30 They have played 3 exceptionally bruising games against Ireland, France and England. One tough game against Scotland. They also have one day less in recovery before the finals, compared to the all blacks. The average age of the all blacks is 27 We have come through with 2 exceptionally hard games with France and Ireland and one relatively tough game with Argentina. The starting team that has just been named for the springboks have a cap total of 987 caps. The All Blacks have a test cap total of 1493 in their 33 man squad so I’m sure their 23 will have more caps. We’ve also been shown a blue print on how to leave the boks dazed if it rains. If it’s dry, we’re going to run rings around you. This is going to be the biggest winning margin in any World Cup match. Let’s call it revenge for 95. This should be our 6th World Cup. Wayne Barnes robbed us of the other one. We’re going to score early and have you chasing the score board for the whole match. The bomb squad will bring you closer but we’ve got this.
