The gods of rugby...
O gods of rugby...
Please protect my beloved Sharks tomorrow, and prevent them from tripping over the fallen corpses of the bulls who wear blue.
Grant them the judgement to know when to pass and when to take the gap.
Instill in them the belief that it is actually okay to beat your opponent into a bloody pulp.
Lead them not into the temptation of sitting back after scoring the 8th try.
Grant them the humility that when 50 points up at half time, that they go out and add 60 more just to show they can.
Give Francois Steyn the guidance to slot 3 drop-kicks from within his own half, and please let JP Pieterson catch the ball, for when he does he can be quite good really.
Bestow upon AJ Venter the patience to think whose watching before punching.
Enlighten Butch James of the no-arms rule as he is prone to wonder from the path of righteousness.
Grant Percy Montgomery that little bit of extra speed he's lost over the years , but allow him to bestow upon his team mates the skill and experience we have grown to love.
O rugby gods, light the fire in our forwards' bellies, so they might crush the bulls who wear blue come scrum time.
Lay down your hand on the shoulder of John Smit so when he throws the ball in, it flies straight and true, and finds his jumpers.
Allow Dick Muir the foresight to bring on Adie Jacobs at the right time, as he is too great a player to deny him the feast of points on offer.
Allow Bradley Barritt the confidence to run the ball up, but to every now and then pass the damn ball.
Waylon Murray, O gods of rugby, has been a giant for us, so please allow him to continue on this path.
Our unsung hero, whom was so harshly excluded from the bokke, Jacques Botes... he doesn't need your help, O gods of rugby, for he has been blessed with too great a talent to want for more.
Finally O gods of rugby, protect the bulls who wear blue for they are in for a rough day!
Amen
