How can the opening of a test match be so emotional?
The first 15 minutes before the match - I was sobbing like a newborn!
The crowd singing Happy Birthday to Nelson Mandela - all the hip hip hoorays! Mrs Mandela giving the little mascot a huge big hug!
Then the anthem.... nothing like Ellis Park to lift the roof off!
It's now 6 minutes in - we're 3-0 up (looks like we might get a try soon as well) and I'm all cried out, clutching at a few tickets.
What is it about the Boks particulary that makes me sob and make me want to go home so badly. :hartlik:

In love there are two things - bodies and words.
