Think I just might go and watch the SA vs Ire game tonight if I do not have to work late. :D
 
Awesome!! Wales vs Fiji and the stadium is practically empty. Pretty sad that this competition doesn't get the exposure and support it deserves.

Wonder why the White elephant stadium wasn't used for this.
Did the grass die or something?

Can you imagine? The Danie craven stadium is all but empty. Imagine what it would be like trying to fill the cape town stadium? Poorly marketed event.
 
Really is shocking and incredibly disappointing. I've seen 15 000 spectators or more at Easter weekend school boy rugby festivals so the notion that there isn't an interest in junior rugby is false.
