If Tatjana wins gold tonight she will become the only South African to defend their Olympic title, the only South African with 3 Olympic gold medals (greatest Olympian) and one of only 32 swimmers in the history of the Olympics to win 3 individual swimming golds @SuperSportTV

Rassie Erasmus was overcome with emotion at yesterday's honorary doctorate ceremony 🥺🎓

[Adventures of a Red Head @AdventuresofRed]

@WOOLWORTHS_SA thank you so much for your speedy and comprehensive reply. I appreciate it!

[Adventures of a Red Head @AdventuresofRed]

@WOOLWORTHS_SA this has been a terribly frustrating process ordering online. Twice now without contacting me my order has been returned to the warehouse, with the answer several attempts, where courier never contacted me. Really not the service I have come to know from you.

[Adventures of a Red Head @AdventuresofRed]

@Vukosy @SantamInsurance Hey, did you get any joy from Santam? We are having a terrible experience at the moment.

@DenzilJLewis @SantamInsurance Hey, did you get any joy from Santam? We have a huge issue with a third party claim.

[Adventures of a Red Head @AdventuresofRed]

@SantamInsurance how on earth do you attribute 40% of the claim to the driver on the motorbike GOING STRAIGHT IN HIS LANE with RIGHT OF WAY, and your client just turns in, right in front of him. Please explain this to me??? This kid was seriously hurt.

@Nespresso South Africa, whats happening at the service centre?Shocking service. Sent machines to be serviced, no answer/delayed answers on mails, waiting for the second machine since collection 19th Jan, been asked for payment twice. Today got a mail:please wait 5-7 days.

🥳 Happy 5⃣1⃣st birthday to South Africa's director of rugby Rassie Erasmus!

🇿🇦 Here, his emotions get the better of him when the Springboks arrived home following their triumphant #RWC2023 campaign.

[Adventures of a Red Head @AdventuresofRed]

@RassieRugby’s birthday gift to us!

[BallCarrier @BallCarrier_]

Rassie Erasmus confirmed as the next Springbok coach 🇿🇦

[Adventures of a Red Head @AdventuresofRed]

Happy birthday to the 🐐 and my absolute Hero of all time @RassieRugby !
May you have many more moments like these!
Jy is n lekker ou! Mag jy ons nog lank laat raai wat jy volgende gaan doen!

[Adventures of a Red Head @AdventuresofRed]

@taniawithay If @RassieRugby says run, I ask how far and I am very much not a runner, what the master mind asks we do! 😁

RG Snyman’s tattoo artist gave 20 year old Canan Moodie a tattoo. I’m telling you Canan’s mom is messaging him now “and if RG says you must just off a bridge?!l”

We recorded our #RWC2023 closing podcast tonight and an interesting topic came up.

Name the three most important things that happened in the Final against NZ helping the Springboks win

[Cliff - That's All @PigSpotter]

10 Things we've learnt about South Africans during the Rugby World Cup 🏉🇿🇦🏆:

1. Racism is an ongoing struggle within our country, but let another nation accuse one of ours of a racial slur and collectively we're ready to pounce #Kant

2. Bongi is one of the 44 South Africans who still speak Afrikaans #JaCharlize

3. Similarly, accuse us of not deserving the win on a public platform and 62 million of us are coming at you in all 12 official languages #EvenSignLanguage

4. Stadium lights get dimmed for the pyrotechnics show and South Africans worldwide assume Cyril took loadshedding to Paris #WeKantBelieve 🔦🕯

5. We're equally confused with Jacques and Rassie's light show because we've forgotten what to do when traffic lights are working 🚦🚨

6. If you want to really make us cross... make us wear turquoise instead of green and gold 💚💛

7. We're tired of being called resilient, but in the moments when we have Zero F's left to give.... the Springboks give us a Faf and we find reason to believe again ❤️‍🩹

8. We're so used to receiving kak news that when something positive happens we demand a public holiday to commemorate it #FamilyMeeting

9. We dare you to find a cooler captain #BeLikeSiya

10. Some may have made tough decisions to leave our beautiful country, others have made tough decisions to stay and fight for her... but no matter where we are - we are family 🌍💚 It's like the sibling relationship where we bicker and argue amongst ourselves, but let someone else insult us and we're defending like Pieter-Steph du Toit in the final.

We have so many reasons to be proud 🇿🇦! Not just of the Springboks but of our people who have united and supported, of our local brands and companies who have brought the gees and of our schools and parents who have encouraged the next generation to support and cheer for each other! We're leading from the bottom up 🇿🇦💚💛🏆

[Adventures of a Red Head @AdventuresofRed]

Yes this!

[Dan Corder 📺 @DanCorderOnAir]

Only one Springbok was named in the rugby team of the year, which I think is kind of perfect

[Jared Wright @jaredwright17]

🇿🇦 Every starting Springboks forward, plus besides Bongi Mbonambi, made at least 10 tackles in the #RWCFinal

28 - Pieter Steph du Toit
16 - Franco Mostert
15 - Frans Malherbe
15 - Siya Kolisi
13 - Steven Kitshoff
11 - Eben Etzebeth
10 - Duane Vermeulen

Also, Deon Fourie (who replaced Bongi in the 3rd minute), made the second most tackles (20), while Faf de Klerk made the joint-fourth most (15). Damian de Allende (12) was the other back to made 10+.
