Boktown the place to be during RWC

The atmosphere was electric with South African flags being waved among a sea of green and gold jerseys.

Rugby lovers celebrated the Springboks’ victory over Wales this weekend in style at Boktown at Emnotweni.

Handré Pollard managed to clinch the tense game when he kicked the decisive penalty with about four minutes to go. The game threatened to go to extra time when the score was 16-16 right at the end.

Pollard scored 14 points and this definitely helped his team in Yokohoma on Sunday.

It was a nail-biting game that had local supporters on the edge of their seats right to the end. However, some supporters never had any doubt that the Boks would be victorious.
