Harsh land. Beautiful people. One scrum.
The springbok is the land: beautiful, colourful, diverse, harsh and properly excellent. Mzansi, basically. The scrum is the people: many colours, bound together, one almighty shove with serious gees (team spirit). Together? South Africa’s potential. This is its fan club for Bok fans everywhere, run from a drizzly corner of Kent, boet.
