    Here’s how a Joburger pronounces it:

  2. Craigs – we do, but we also have a very positive points difference against them. Back to only the sodding All Blacks who have a positive win ratio against the Boks. And that will take years to erase. If ever.

    Or you could just pronounce it Kleyn/Kline/Klein.

    See? I told you!

    @Craigs – best watch the video, I can’t type out how you’d pronounce it. Although in Durban they tend to try to Anglicise (Francophone?) it and pronounce it La-boo-shane. And Bow-thar for Botha. Prats.

  5. Decent hit out for the Boks, good defence against a decent attack, some decent tries, no major injuries (Trevor Nyakane went off with what looked like a twisted ankle, hoping nothing more than that). Pretty scrappy, although apparently very humid, so to be expected. I didn’t see it, but apparently the crowd sang our anthem off sheets before the game – great hosting by Japan!

    Great English anthem, eh? Should be the national anthem.

    England would be better off with a Quo song as the anthem.

  11. Overton can’t add much to his lunchtime overnight score, gone 3rd ball he faces. And with that, I think I’m gone for the afternoon too!

  12. @Gecko – yeah, TomP mentioned it a page back. I was too lazy to type out the whole quote. Or copy and paste it for that matter.

    When do we get an edit function here? Now that Gecko’s arrived I want to withdraw my endorsement of Leyds. Over-hyped Province wanker.

  15. Thanks Craigs – the violence is in other parts of Jo’burg to where I live and in other parts of SA as well. Seems to have subsided for now, thank goodness.
