Rugby & Chicago

I’m sure by now you all know how ‘well’ the rugby went on the weekend. As bad as it was Chris and I still enjoyed the game, we had planned to go and watch the game in the famous ‘Springbok bar’ but much to our disgust we found out it was closed, ‘not to worry’ said Chris, the ‘Bok bar’ is just around the corner. Now the Bok bar was open but they hadn’t paid their Sky subscription and therefore this meant no game! We met up with two English guys outside the Bok bar also trying to find a pub showing the game, so we went looking around but all we got was ‘Australia vs. Wales’, went back to the ‘Springbok bar’ and found two very nice ladies looking for the game too. All six of us then ran around in near rain conditions and found ‘The Maple leaf’, and yes you guessed it, it was a Canadian bar! And filled with English fans I might add.

Luckily the game wasn’t on for another 25 minutes, so Chris and I started on the Kronenberg (tastes better than Castle, sorry boys). The game got off to a very bad start and it kind of stayed that way until the end. At halftime Chris and I were both tired of standing and getting slightly concerned about the hardcore skinhead supporters next to us even though they had been quite friendly. We spotted the two (very pretty) ladies who we had met earlier sitting at a table right next to the big screen, they were from Joburg and were in London to bring the theatre production/musical ‘Chicago’ to South Africa. They brought ‘Fame’ to Cape Town a few months ago, I went to see that and it was very good (very professional I thought) so go and watch Chicago when it starts, it’ll probably be even better (they were also very nice people so that is reason enough to go and watch it).
