Young KZN Springbok fans optimistic for World Cup final
As we get ready for this weekend's World Cup final, the Springboks' little fans in KZN say they're feeling optimistic about Saturday's game against New Zealand.
Durban's Altus Van Staden says he's looking forward to seeing the Boks lift the trophy again.
"I think the Boks can win. They're very strong, they play hard, and I think we're going to smash the All Blacks. Go Bokke!"
Zoe Winslow, 9, from Penzance Primary School, is warming up to sing the national anthem:
"I'm so excited to watch the final on Saturday. I love watching the national anthem, I think we have a winning squad. Do your best. I love you always."
Westville's Michael Gibbs says he'll be sacrificing his sleep.
"I'm gonna stay past my bedtime and hope the Springboks will win on Saturday. Go Springboks!”
Luxolo Zim says there's no doubt it's going to be a tense match between two age-old rivals.
"I think it’s going to be a good one, especially because it's against the All Blacks, and there's a rivalry between the two teams.
"There is a lot to play for because the Springboks, as well as the All Blacks, currently sit on three world cups each, meaning that whoever wins will get the fourth one and will have bragging rights over the other."
