Today was Rugby final day! But before we headed to the rugby we had the whole morning and early afternoon to fill.
So first off we headed to Milnerton Flea Market.
It was a long stretch next to the sea full of small market stall selling EVERYTHING!!!!
It was cool to explore and see all the little bits and bobs from people homes which they're selling.
I got myself one cool old South Africa coin for memory which I'm pretty happy with.
It was the final of the currie up, the biggest rugby cup in South Africa. The match was between Western Province (the local team) vs The Sharks from Durban.
The atmosphere was sooooo different compared to last week. The crowds were huge with the final buzz in the air. We got into our favourite standing area and it was packed to the brim. Standing should definitely be brought back to English stadiums, it's soo good!
Before the players were out the songs had already begun. There was such an electric buzz around the stadium with anticipation for the game.
As the players came out onto the pitch the stadium shaked with cheers, songs and whatever noise you could make to display your excitement! "WP Jou Lekker Ding" was the main chant which bellowed round the stadium. The volume was amazing. Again the national anthem was the best bit and I could even join in a bit as I've learnt some of it.
The game was great as these two giants of the sport battled It out for ultimate glory. Last year was exactly the same final where the Sharks won and this season Western Province have been undefeated so we were the favourites going into the final.
However, the WP couldn't handle the pressure of favourite and they lost. This is a shame as the stadium would of erupted with a WP win! Anyway, the atmosphere was great for the final and was a good game of rugby, just the Sharks were the better team.
God Bless.
