I don’t do as much sport as I would like, but I was lucky enough to do this test match.
The All Blacks already won the tournament on points, but Boks supporters was hopeful of a good game after the Boks had a great game of rugby against the Wallabies last week.
It was my first sport being shot at Soccer City and hopefully not the last, as I think everyone will agree that Soweto has such a great vibe.
