Springboks fans revel in revenge win over Japan

When Rassie Erasmus named his South Africa side to face Japan earlier this week, it was clear that he was not taking the World Cup hosts lightly in their final pre-tournament warm-up match.

Likewise, Japan head coach Jamie Joseph named an equally strong side, as both sides sought to lay down a marker only two weeks before the showcase starts. 

So after coming away 41-7 victors, Springboks fans think their team have sent a strong message before they face the All Blacks in their first match of the World Cup. 

Japan have been tipped to cause some upsets at this year’s finals, so for South Africa to come away with a  comprehensive win will be encouraging. 

This was a particularly important result for fans on social media, as the Springboks avenged their historic loss to Japan in the 2015 World Cup pool stages.

That result had been looming over the team all week, and Erasmus’ side have been able to put to rest their mistakes of the past.

A number of positives are being drawn out of the game as well, specifically the Springboks’ defence as well as the try hat-trick scored by Makazole Mapimpi. The winger’s place in the team had been questioned by fans ahead of the game, so this was the perfect way to respond to his critics. 

After winning the Rugby Championship in August, it appears beating Japan was the ideal way to finish preparations ahead of the World Cup and it has left the South African public filled with confidence. This is what has been said:

The only negative from the game was the injury to Trevor Nyakane, who came off with 10 minutes remaining. Fans will wait with bated breath for an update regarding the prop’s injury.

Other than that, the two-time world champions will now be entering this year’s tournament with an added spring in their step.

Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

As a fitness coach, I’ve always taken pride in guiding and inspiring others not just in health, but in life. So when I came across what seemed like a promising crypto investment opportunity, I believed I was making a smart financial move. I even introduced it to a few of my students, thinking it could benefit them too.But everything came crashing down when I realized it was all a scam. I lost $16,000. The weight of that loss was more than financial, it was emotional. I felt ashamed, devastated, and completely powerless. Nights were sleepless, and the guilt of trusting the wrong people haunted me.In the midst of that dark time, I didn’t stop searching for a solution. And that’s when I stumbled upon Hack Savvy Tech . At first, I was skeptical that I had already been burned once. But something about their professionalism and the stories I read gave me hope.And I’m so glad I trusted them.Hack Savvy Tech didn’t just help me, they rescued me. They recovered every dollar I lost, and more than that, they restored my sense of security and peace of mind. Their team was transparent, understanding, and truly dedicated from start to finish.If you’ve been scammed, I know how hard it is. But don’t lose hope. Hack Savvy Tech is the real deal. They gave me a second chance and they can do the same for you.Telegram @hacksavvytechWebsite: https://hacksavvytechrecovery.comWhatsapp : +79998295038​

Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

This has been a very distressful week for me, after investing a humongous amount into Coinpro, a trading platform that promised luring returns, their 25% interest on each trading was quite an enticing deal so I opted to invest £207,700 expecting huge and profitable returns, unfortunately for me I realized little too late that it was the worst financial decision blunder that I had made after they started taking me round in circles once I realized I couldn’t access my funds.

I became frustrated and anxious upon coming to accept that I could have possibly lost my life time investment. After days of struggling with my situation I soon realized I urgently needed professional help, so I dove down to research on how to recover lost my funds, it’s when I stumbled on several testimonials about LEE ULIMATE HACKER an APPROVED hacker in all recovery problems, I decided to contact them via Leeultimatehacker@aol.com & wh@tsapp +1 (715) 314 - 9248

ASAP and I was soon welcomed by good customer service from one of their staff, who took me through the recovery process, I had lost all hope but they gave me hope and within a period of 12hours I was met with good news LEE ULTIMATE HACKER and his team were able to trace my funds, this quick turn around was just the good news that i deserved after that traumatic experience I had encountered of not being able to access my funds, but that was all water under the bridge after LEE ULTIMATE HACKER kept their word and within a few hours I was able to access and withdraw all my funds. Contact LEE ULTIMATE HACKER for all your recovery problems.
