I can understand admiring the All Blacks for their flair and style... but in the last 5 years , you can't still be supporting a team other than your country. New Zealand won't even accept them if they wanted to immigrate there....and if you want to support New Zealnd in rugby, then support that country in the Olympics and other sports too...

They are not proving anything and it probably feels a bit weird for the AB's too. Looking forward to the game...🙏

[@kabeloreid7586]

1. It is just outright immature to insist on backing the AB's over your own team...30 years after apartheid. 2. The AB's Anti-Apartheid credentials is over-stated anyway. Their Administrators made all sorts of iffy compromises to continue playing against the banned Boks - like agreeing to leave Maori players out of touring sides or agreeing that a limited number could be allowed as "honorary whites". So it was the ordinary New Zealanders who showed some backbone...not the AB's. 3. All kinds of people have spent the last 30-plus years trying to mould us into one nation. As such, this is not about what the AB's stood for during apartheid... this is more about rejecting current attempts to heal us and form us into something better.

It's right, if they want to they must enjoy 😉 I can understand because if you are a supporter you do it 100% and after a time it becomes part of who they are + they are just loyal people to their brand like Liverpool or Man U or Man City football supporters . Enjoy

Hangover from apartheid. We have fantastic players of colour who bring so much skill to the boks, that over time those supporters will come back to the Boks.

I lived in the West Coast for a couple of years when I started working. Vredenburg, Saldanha, St Helena Bay and Vredendal have some of the largest All Black supporting communities in SA. I found it incredibly unpatriotic for South Africans to support the All Blacks over the Boks.

Its got nothing to do with Apartheid. Maybe the older generation had their reasons but the newer generation just wants to support who they like. Everybody in the comments so Patriotic and so proud to be Springbok supporters, even talking about Olympics.

An excellent video, Peter! There are many layers to this and you've explained it beautifully. Having grown up in the Cape and lived there for many years I know it very well myself. As you say, we want them to come on over to the green side! They'll be welcomed with open arms.

[@jasonbotha4139]

Thanks for giving such a detailed reasoning for there being so many NZ supporters in Cape Town. I can fully understand the reasoning for it during apartheid but we are now 30 years into our democracy, so hoping the new generations of South Africans will begin supporting their own country again.

[@donnybrascocoliogne819]

[@jodiementoor3597]

I respect everyone's opinions on who they support, and thats exactly what it is, an opinion. What law says you have to support a team just because you are from the same country or place?? We all need to respect each other's opinions, or are you narcissists?? What you say goes?? Sports have evolved into business like environments. If a South African coaching a New Zealand team, does it mean he/has to wear a Springbok outfit whilst coaching a New Zealand team when they play each other?? NO!! I found most supporters to be hypocrites. If you have patriotic pride, good for you. In my opinion, we were better off in apartheid era. Now everything has gone to s#!t!! So let people support who they want. Stop supporting Man United, Liverpool, etc. And support Orlando Pitates, City of Cape Town, Kizer Chiefs, etc you patriots. I digress........

[@edithmiller3114]

Things were better in the Apartheid era? For who? 10% of the population?

[@Happy_HourZA]

I share the sentiment of people that are saying it's silly but also on the other hand, the right thing to do was to dismantle the spring boks emblem and erase the old image in 1995 that would ve given room for non whites to be proud of the team without feeling like they fought so hard just to be accepted in an otherwise white rugby community which carries a lot of painful memories for our people...the gentleman in the video only scratched the surface when it comes to what people went through especially a lot of coloured talented players that opportunities where taken away from just in the bases of their skin tone ... So yeah we can say they must move on but it's also fair to address the route of the problem. Same reason we rebranded the whole country s image by new flag and national anthem is the same reason I feel the Springboks should have been rebranded Just my opinion, thank you for the amazing video though 🙏🏿
