Happy with his singing (File)
Toulouse – French team manager Jo Maso said the choice of singer at each Test in France is made by the visiting team’s diplomatic staff.

“Every time we welcome a foreign side, we ask the embassy to propose people for the national anthems,” said Maso.

“It’s the South African Embassy that put forward this man and we respected their choice.”

Ras Dumisani, a Durban native who sported dreadlocks tucked into a huge red, green and white Rastafarian cap, sang Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika ahead of the Boks defeat against France in Toulouse.

Dumisani was aghast when told that Springbok coach Peter de Villiers and several players were unhappy with his rendition, saying “everyone at the stadium told me I sang well, even after the match.”

Absolute farce of an ending. NZ penalised about 6 times for collapsing the scrum 5m from their line. One of their props even get a yelllow.

But does Mr Dickenson award a penalty try? Not on your life.

It still beggars belief that this is the number one sport in the world.

Over and out.

3-0

Don’t be surprised if we only win one out of 3.

wonder though why ruan wasn’t brought in for kirchner or steyn. is it because he is not toplay FB anymore and was Pdivvy hoping till last minute that there will be some penalties that morne could kick over.

Only one player with a lower score in the team.

Looked out of his depth. A knock-on at a maul, lost the ball that led to Clerc’s try and also lost the ball in contact too easily – not to mention the yellow card for killing the ball.
