1 year on…..
Wow! Can you believe it’s been a year since John Smit lifted the Rugby World Cup!
It is amazing to think that a year ago today I was in Paris full of hope and anticipation…Will SA lift the trophy for the second time? My trip was coming to an end I had spent nearly two months away from home and my wife. I drove 7500 miles in France and covered 19 world cup games. Was it worth it? Well as I sit here and think about the last 12 months I realize that that trip to France meant so much more than covering the RWC07. The people I met and the contacts I made have brought friendship and business. Maybe even some dreams have come true because of that trip. It was a life changing experience in many ways.
Was it worth it?
Hell Yeah!
