Let's unite and cheer our heroes

For brief moments this weekend, thousands of South Africans will proudly fly the national flag as we unite to urge our sportsmen on to glory in a stupendous triple-header of clashes in cricket, rugby and in the brutal Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Two of the three encounters will see us facing up against our old foe – Australia. First, it will be the deciding match in the T20 series in Brisbane tomorrow, followed by the Rugby Championship battle at Ellis Park. Then, in the early hours of Sunday, Dricus du Plessis will defend his UFC middleweight title against Russian Khamzat Chimaev.
