Well now, let me tell you about this Mpumalanga rugby, whatever that is. Sounds fancy, don’t it? I heard them fellas runnin’ around with a ball, tossin’ it here and there. Kinda like them boys playin’ in the streets, except these fellas got a big ol’ field and jerseys and stuff.
They call them Pumas, these rugby players. Guess they’re supposed to be fast like them big cats. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen a real puma, but I bet they’re somethin’ fierce. These Pumas, they got a new sponsor, New Nation Construction. Buildin’ things, I reckon. Good for them, gettin’ money from somewhere.
They play in this big place called Mbombela Stadium. Sounds like a mouthful, doesn’t it? They say it’s got seats for everyone. Must be a real big place, all them folks watchin’ fellas chase a ball. They used to play in Witbank, at Puma Stadium. Guess they moved on up to bigger things.
Heard tell some of these Pumas boys go on to be Springboks. Don’t ask me what a Springbok is, some kinda fancy antelope maybe? Anyway, they say some of them fellas, like Duane Vermeulen and Faf de Klerk, they made it big. Came from this Mpumalanga place, played for the Pumas, now they’re jumpin’ around with the Springboks.
- Duane Vermeulen
- Faf de Klerk
They say they got a rugby director or somethin’. Some fella tellin’ them boys what to do, I guess. Run faster, throw better, catch that ball! Probably yells a lot, them directors always do.
Now, there’s talk about them changin’ things up in 2026, this Rugby Championship. Don’t know much about it, sounds like a big to-do. Folks say South Africa ain’t leavin’, they’re stayin’ put. Good for them, I guess. Gotta stick with what you know.
It’s somethin’ how these fellas play this rugby. Runnin’ and jumpin’, throwin’ that ball around. Must take a lot of energy, ain’t it? I get tired just watchin’ them on that telly. But folks seem to like it, cheerin’ and hollerin’.
This Mpumalanga place, they got a rugby union. Fancy name for a bunch of folks runnin’ things, I reckon. They been around since 1969. Long time ago, ain’t it? Guess they know what they’re doin’, keepin’ these Pumas runnin’ around.
So that’s what I know about this Mpumalanga rugby. Fellas runnin’ with a ball, playin’ in a big stadium, some of them makin’ it to the Springboks. Don’t sound too bad, I guess. Keeps them fellas busy, gives folks somethin’ to watch. And that New Nation Construction, they probably happy to have their name on them jerseys.
