@LauraKingDXB Enjoyed the mild temperature this morning. Not so much the increase in girth and heavy breathing into a face mask- Especially after a bottle of grape last night. 😷🏃

@MeerGoose11 Congrats champ! Well deserved!

To say we’re proud would be an understatement. Congrats to a team that many wrote off just a year ago. Our captain took criticism from all sides but today, the Springboks are back on top of the world. Well done Bokke. You have made us all proud. #rugbyworldcup2019 #southafrica

Sport has the power to #unite the #rainbownation like no other.

Not many gave us chance 2 years ago, but we have the chance this week to compete for the ultimate prize in rugby.

It’s not often that a boy gets to have his hero as his best friend.

A friend. A teammate. A coach. A Dad. And a soon to be Grandfather.

Thankfully there are so many happy memories of this great man. I just wish there was a few more still to come.

Thanks for everything Dad.

@ScottyCricket He was brave enough to play club cricket in a turbulent SA in the mid-80's. A dear family friend ever since. The uncle I never had. Helped me to play club cricket in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Always used to swop kit- the Morton 21 is the last one we exchanged. Changed the lives of many!

Saddened by the news this morning of the passing of a legend a man. A friend for more than 30 years.He touched so many over the years with his passion and enthusiasm.Thoughts and prayers goes out to Katie, Keith and the family. An innings declared too early.#RIPWillie 🏏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
