Maar as onse Bokke speel, en veral as dit W\u00eareldbekertyd is, kan \u2019n mens mos nie anders as om belang te stel en mee te doen nie. <\/p>\n<p>My rugby-hemp dra ek graag, en so ook die \u2018snood\u2019 in die kleure van die landsvlag. En ja, ek skrou ook my keel hees. <\/p>\n<p>My eerste ontdekking van my vermo\u00eb om my selfbeheersing oorboord te laat gaan, was toe my kerriekopkind sy eerste onder-nege rugbywedstryd gespeel het. <\/p>\n<p>Eers het ek skaam gekry, maar toe ek sien hoe die \u00e1nder ouers tekere gaan, het ek \u00e9\u00e9rs losgetrek! <\/p>\n<p>Toe besef ek hoe bevrydend dit is om saam met mense in die soortgelyke situasie uiting te gee aan gevoelens op \u2019n sosiaal aanvaarbare manier.<\/p>\n<p>Wel, almal is nou nie ewe beskaafd op die pawiljoen nie. Die meerderheid toeskouers sal nooit so by die huis te kere gaan nie, maar in di\u00e9 omstandighede is dit aanvaarbaar. <\/p>\n<p>Kliniese sielkundige Maryke Vosloo s\u00ea: \u201cWanneer ondersteuners uiting gee aan hulle emosies op \u2019n aanvaarbare manier, steek dit ander mense aan om dieselfde te doen \u2013 veral as dit in \u2019n veilige omgewing is waar jy deel van \u2019n <span>tribe<\/span> voel en geoordeel word nie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Die destydse rofstoeipromotor, Oom Bull Hefer, het altyd ges\u00ea: langs die stoeikryt of die sportveld is die beste plek om uiting te gee aan frustrasies, en dat mens so \u2019n gesonde uitklep vind vir opgekropte emosies. <\/p>\n<p>Ek onthou daar was \u2019n omie wat klokslag langs die kryt gesit het en elke hou meelewend dopgehou het terwyl hy sy valstande in-en- uit sy mond gewikkel het.<\/p>\n<p>En nou met die opwindende Rugby W\u00eareldbeker, is my senuwees, net soos miljoene ander s\u2019n, vertoiing. <\/p>\n<p>Hoe kan mens die spanning uitstaan? Soms spring mens op met arms in die lug van vreugde, opwinding, of selfs ontevredenheid. <\/p>\n<p>Dan hou mens weer o\u00eb gedeeltelik toe wanneer Pollard pale toe skop op \u2019n kritieke tyd. Party mense byt naels, slaan een na die ander bier weg, of loop knyp-knyp \u2019n draai. <\/p>\n<p>Die grappies vlieg blitsig op sosiale media. <\/p>\n<p>My gunsteling is die een van die hoeder- braai restaurant met \u2019n spesiale ontbytaanbieding (\u201cEnglish breakfast\u201d) vir R16.15 (die eindtelling tussen die Springbokke en Engelse Rose.) Ook die kamma-foto van Rassie wat oornag grys geword het. <\/p>\n<p>Daar is baie te s\u00ea oor die afgelope twee wedstryde se naelskraap oorwinnings. <\/p>\n<p>Vir my is Siya Kolisi die grootste grensafbreker om mense van alle agtergronde en omstandighede te verenig. Hy en sy span laat ons vergeet van verskille. Ons het almal saam net een wens: dat ons Bokke daardie beker weer waardig omhoog sal hou as die w\u00eareldkampioene. <\/p>\n<p>Niks bou nasietrots soos sport nie. <\/p>\n<p>Die Bokke sal nou maar moet waak daarteen om Afrikans op die veld te praat, want die teenstanders kan dit dalk net weer verkeerd verstaan\u2026 soos nou die geval was met die \u2018wit kant\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>Ons hoop dat staatmaker Bongi Mbonambi in die eindstryd weer sy krag sal inspan teen die \u2018swart kant\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAma Bokka ma bokko bokko dis die bokmasjien.
