Four tests between the world's top two rugby powerhouses is behind us and Russi and the boys have added another trophy to their already stacked trophy cabinet.
And Mike, everyone who's watched this series tends to agree, whether you're neutral or whether you're a Bok or an All Black supporter, man, what an incredible rugby spectacle.
Not only rugby, but I think sportsmanship and just general intentional gameplay.
But I'm so glad, you know, that there are so many people that can see more than rugby than just 30 players on the field.
It was just an amazing display, I think, of sportsmanship, of what sport is all about and how we can even find, you know, the Christ perspective in the midst of all that.
But I just wanted to say that these two teams, the Springboks, the South African Springboks and the New Zealand All Blacks, definitely head and shoulders above the rest of the rugby world.
And it feels good as South Africans to, with all of the challenges that we have in our nation, to have these men who rise up and make us feel so proud and create the sense of unity that you almost don't see anywhere else in this country.
And I mean, it's not just winning the trophy and it's not just winning trophies.
It's how they represent the country in the various cultures and the different nationalities and even the different languages and everything that's so unique about South Africa.
To see that on a sports field and how people will embrace one another and being called together in a specific environment.
And it just gives such a wonderful model for what this country can be like if we can put our cultural differences aside and start working together.
Brad, this is just an amazing country with amazing people, and I think the rugby displayed something of that, and it should give us a lot of hope.
