Saw so many folks from the pre-2010 internet era tonight. It both made me feel old, and reminded me of how amazing it was to come up in that time. Thanks @MarkSham @RichMulholland - what an epic night. @mikestopforth let’s bring it back 😉

For most Saffa men, middle age is the moment you realise that, nope, no matter if all the stars aligned, and 4057 people were injured, and you lost 14kgs, and got that cardio firing, and limbered up properly, your chances of playing for the Proteas have officially passed you by.
