Njengoba seluhleliwe usuku olukhulu lokuqondiswa kwezigwegwe kukaRassie Erasmus ongumphathi webhola lombhoxo eNingizimu Afrika, omunye angacabanga ukuthi baphoqiwe ukuba bakhethe usuku lokuqondiswa kwezigwegwe ngokukhulu ukushesha.
Mhlawumbe kufanele sibuyele kulolu daba olwenzeka ngoMfumfu ngonyaka wezi-2013 lapho uTana Umaga weqembu le-Hurricanes centre efakela unompempe uPeter Marshall inselela.
“Asidlali lapha, zakwethu! Alukho olubi ngokubhekana!” Kusho u-Umaga
UMarshal uphendule wathi: “ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kubhekana kuyingozi, futhi ngingunompempe, zakwethu, ngiyaxolisa.
Lokhu kuza ngemuva komdlalo wokuqala ne-B&l lions ngoNtulikazi ngemuva kweminyaka eyisishiyagalombili u-Umaga efakele uMarshal inselela ngemuva kokuvela kwevidiyo edumile ka-Erasmus.
Icala abhekene nalo kanye nebhola lombhoxo eNingizimu Afrika yilokho akwenza: ngokuletha umdlalo ehlazweni. Kodwa u-Erasmus akazange avume ukuthi uyena okhiphe ividiyo. Ubekwa icala lento okungakabi nesiqiniseko sokuba uyenzile noma cha.
Lo umhlaba oqhutshwa i-testosterone lapho umdlalo ungaphenduka umdlalo wokubambana ngezandla kunokuba kube umdlalo webhola lombhoxo. Futhi kukhulu okusengcupheni lapha ngoba amabhokobhoko angaphucwa injabulo yokuwina umdlalo wabo ngesikhathi bedlala ne-Lion.
U-Erasmus uchazwa njengomuntu onesithunzi kanye namandla kanti mhlawumbe kuyamuchaza lokho. Kodwa yize lokhu kufeza injongo encane kunokuba kulethe injabulo, kunokunye okuvelayo uma ngabe kungenzeka ukuthi, ibhola lombhoxo lifuna ukuchitha konke lokho ngethemba lokuthi kuzophela nya.
Ngakho-ke, kulokhu kungqubuzana, nokukhombana, lapho bonke ababamba iqhaza bezama ngamandla onke ukuletha umdlalo ehlazweni, kodwa lokhu kusengajike kube umphumela omuhle.
Okumele kubhekwe lapha, a) ukuthi bathole izindlela zokuchaza umthetho wemidlalo, b) ukwenza impilo kanompempe ibe lula kanye nezinqumo zokuthatha izinkinga ziyiswe ku-panel ukuze ziyohlolwa kahle ngemuva komdlalo, c) baphinde babheke nokucima imthetho edonsela emuva imidlalo njengokuphindaphinda into kanye nokucabanga izinqumo eziseceleni ngaphandle kwenkundla.
Mhlawumbe sekuyisikhathi sokubheka kabusha isithunzi sikanompempe.
Amazwi kaPeter Marshal etshela u-Umaga uthe, “yimina unompempe, zakwethu. Ngiyaxolisa,” kusayimpendulo yokugcina, kodwa mhlawumbe esikhathini sanamhlanje esiphila kuso, sekuyisikhathi sokuthi sikhumbule ukuthi lo wesilisa osuke ephethe impempe akusiyena uNkulunkulu, kodwa unompempe ophethe umdlalo.
