The agony of a missed kick

Imagine buying a ticket to watch the team you've supported all your life face their greatest rivals.

- Nicholas Zaal

You fight through traffic to arrive well before kick-off, spend more of your hard-earned cash on food and drinks with your family and friends as you get yourselves up for a good time.

The game lives up to the hype from the first whistle and it is clear both sides are up for the challenge.

The teams score great tries in front of the sold-out crowd, and you and your dearest cheer on every driving maul, applaud every strong carry and wear your hearts on your sleeves as the lead changes repeatedly.
