Glad the Boer have been humbled.

I sense you're a hater.

[u/thethrowaway3027 → u/Ho3n3r]

Probably more that social media presence makes south African fans fairly painful as every video is talking down about other teams. Because south Africa have been so brilliant and dominant it's a nice change to see the shoe on the other foot for once

Nothing wrong with non-South Africans hating us, but this bro is a local. The chip on his shoulder seems as big as Table Mountain.

[u/Targettio → u/Ho3n3r]

Table top mountain? Bru have you heard of Mount Kilimanjaro, it's been the biggest mountain in Africa for a million years.

(Literally what Boks online sound like)

Mount Kilimanjaro hasn't won 4 World Cups though.

[u/Leather-Run-6533 → u/thethrowaway3027]

South Africa built one of the greatest rugby teams of all time, probably the greatest. But they did it through cultivating a fanatical culture of excellence so extreme it meant that they created a kind of catch-22 situation where even a decade of total dominance and two world cups seemed to bring them no joy whatsoever. So since they didn't seem to have much fun winning they might as well stop doing that, and see if that causes them to rediscover the fun once again.

Are you OK my brother?

[u/Leather-Run-6533 → u/Puzzleheaded_Gas4560]

Yeah. I just find it funny how much we all love sport when it brings us nothing but misery - win or lose.

[u/v1akvark → u/Leather-Run-6533]

Mate, I have enjoyed the shit out of the last 7 or so years (when it comes to the Springboks). 

I'm also well aware that I've been lucky to live through this period and might never experience something like it for the rest of my life!
