Forward Pass ! Rugby time with the Saffas ! {Oceanside, CA}

Despite all of us having left South African behind for the fair shores of California several years ago, there is one pastime that can bring us all together on a Saturday morning over homemade Boerewors (South African Sausage) and fried tomatoes. And that, is Rugby. We don't all support the same  team and some of us (the women mostly, and those married into this clan) don't know all the rules, but it doesn't matter. We are all united in our love for this South African game. We shout at the ref when it seems appropriate and high five when "our team" scores ! We don't take the outcomes of the games as seriously as we used to, but it's a great time to round up the Saffas (South Africans) and catch up on each others' busy lives. After the game, we all sit around over instant coffee and Rooibos tea and chat about the old days and the days to come. Good times ...
