Nowadays we’re finding out that they have a serious rugby program down there, and have every intention of being part of the Rugby World Cup in 2015.  Their recent stunning 57-54 victory over perennial qualifiers Namibia put them one step closer to achieving that goal, and seeing how they can get crowds of up to 35,000 to their matches, who’s to say they can’t do it?

And it turns out they even have developed their own version of the haka, check it out…

Further proof that the days of “tiers” are numbered, I hope. JLP
