North versus South:
The Endgame
In a world where ignorance is
bliss and politics is the order of
the day. There is only one thing
that has the power to unite all
kinds of people, regardless of
their origins or religious beliefs.
It’s egalitarian. It lives within
us. We can sense it. It is in every
shallow breath we take. It can lift
us from the ashes of our burning dreams. We love it because
it brings us to tears. Tears of joy,
tears of sorrow and tears of pride.
It can excite us, break us or
even disappoint us but one thing
it will never dare to do is to evade
us. It’s because of it the entire
world is fascinated by it. Its name
is sport.
With the IRB rugby World
Cup looming large, 16 nations
will compete for rugby’s glittering prize. Often regarded as the
“Holy Grail” of international rugby,
the rugby World Cup is always an
unforgettable experience.
The greatest players from all
different walks of life will gather,
determined to make the tournament the pinnacle of their
careers. They will parade their
prowess in front of an audience
of more than two million fans. An

estimated global 4, 2 billion will
share the experience on both
television and radio.
From the grass where its love
comes from, to the grandstands
where its passion takes flight.
England’s moment has come. Its
Rugby’s greatest extravaganza of
all time. It’s where champions are
made, legends unearthed and
rivalries rekindled. It separates
men from boys.
This is where Steyn dazzles,
Burges shines and McCaw
reigns. Experience every try,
tackle and scrum with sheer
excitement, jubilation and exhilaration.
For the entire 41 days, we will
witness their passion, their heroics but above all we will marvel
at their athletic prowess. Nations
will clash like titans but there can
only be one victor.
Can the All Blacks defend their
crown? Can the English stun the
world on home soil? Is Wales’s
victory written in the stars? Can
the Boks engineer a dramatic
comeback? Grab a tissue and
punching bags because things
are about to get feisty.
