Die opwinding was groot toe die spelers op pad terug na hul busse vir aanhangers handtekeninge uitgedeel en saam met hulle vir foto\u2019s poseer het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Op dag twee van die oefenkamp het aanhangers ook die geleentheid gehad om tot in die skoolterrein te gaan om hul rugbyhelde te ontmoet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike Smuts, Ho\u00ebrskool Hermanus se hoof, s\u00ea dit was \u2019n groot voorreg vir die skool om die Springbokke vir drie dae op hul rugbyveld te h\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMense soos Akeem kon hul helde in lewende lywe ontmoet, na hulle kyk en dink, \u2018as hy dit kan doen, kan ek ook\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDit was ook <i>great <\/i>blootstelling vir die skool. Hermanus is nie noodwendig bekend vir sy skole en geriewe nie, maar nou kan mense sien ons skool is \u2019n goeie opsie vir hul kinders en dat ons goeie fasiliteite het. Selfs die Leeus het voorheen gedink ons skool se veld is \u2019n goeie opsie vir hul oefenkamp. Ek dink meer spanne sal nou dalk in die toekoms van ons fasiliteite gebruik wil maak,\u201d het Smuts bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almal was egter nie ewe opgewonde oor die Springbokke en al die fanfare rondom hul teenwoordigheid in die area nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gys Boonzaaier, \u2019n oudbrigadier in die polisie, bevraagteken waarom \u201csewe polisievoertuie en sewe van wetstoepassing\u201d die twee busse waarin die Springbokke gereis het, moes begelei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHoe regverdig hulle (die owerhede) dit? Daar was geen bedreiging op hulle (die rugbyspan se) lewens nie. Hoekom moes die span met loeiende sirenes begelei word en paaie afgesper word? Dis \u2019n mors van mannekrag en geld. Ons gaan gebuk onder \u2019n vlaag misdaad. Hoekom geniet misdaad en stropery nie dieselfde aandag nie?\u201d was Boonzaaier se mening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens die oudpolisieman sou dit beter gewees het vir die Bok-span om \u2019n private veiligheidsmaatskappy te huur om na hul veiligheid om te sien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die meerderheid was egter opgewonde oor die nasionale rugbyspan wat by Arabella tuisgegaan en by Ho\u00ebrskool Hermanus se sportterrein geoefen het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inwoners het die hoop uitgespreek dat die manne in groen en goud binnekort weer die omgewing sal kies om te kom oefen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eers was dit die Britse en Ierse Leeus en toe is dit Suid-Afrika se eie Springbokke wat voor \u2019n groot wedstryd in Hermanus kom
