#StrongerTogether: Hikers in Cape Town wish Boks well─── 13:09 Thu, 31 Oct 2019
As the Springboks prepare for the Rugby World Cup final in Japan, some 15 000km back in Cape Town, a group of fitness and rugby-mad fanatics trekked to the top of Lion's Head to wish the national team well.
The final, which kicks off at 11:00 local time on Saturday, is a repeat of the 2007 final when the Boks edged England 15-6 to hoist the Webb Ellis Cup for the second time, with the first being the historic 1995 win.
Sports journalists and people in general have looked to the 12-year gap between the two World Cup finals wins as a good omen for coach Rassie Erasmus and his team.
The message was clear from the hikers: "Go Bokke."
“UYez’ uKolisi” is the first gwijo of the day at the top of Lions Head ahead of a special message recording to the @Springboks ahead of #RWC2019 final this Saturday. @TeamNews24 @News24 @Sport24news pic.twitter.com/8QJ1FYRU3y
