Ja, I would say I've always been for it but I do feel that many, if not all South Africans such as yourself, are getting their expectations way to high. A little bit of pragmitism hurt no one. Not sure on the rugby stadiums, but it seems unlikely considering the Big Five unions are private companies and their respective stadiums aren't owned by government (I do stand to be corrected on that...)

Bit disappointed you have been "converted", so obviously were one of the doubters when we were given the SWC. The stdiums are going to be a big white elephant after the tournament. Cause for concern is comments that have been made by some in the ANC that rugby stadiums leases will be terminated and they will have to share these new ones. Of course that would solve the financial issue, but what about the historic value of the rugby stadiums should this come to pass. Totally agree.
