Big weekend for Bafana and Boks

All eyes on Bafana tonight ahead of their crucial World Cup qualifier.

It is crunch time for both Bafana Bafana and the Springboks this weekend.

To qualify for the 2018 Fifa World Cup to be held in Russia next year, Bafana must defeat Senegal in two upcoming matches – the first of which will be played at the Peter Mokaba stadium tonight and on Tuesday in Dakar.

To qualify for the World Cup they must win both matches.

Anything less and they will be watching the tournament on TV at home in South Africa.

Many SA stars backed Bafana to beat Senegal in both legs.

New Zealander striker Jeremy Brockie also wished Bafana well ahead of their double encounter against Senegal.
