What a fuck up ?? Did they not know before they left NZ that they couldn't get on the flight? Why not hop a flight to perth and at least get half way. Now you waste a day in sydney dicking around at the airport - no training - fly for another 24 hours to Joburg, .. then bus it up to pretoria (not sure it is worth the flight - maybe) they'll be lucky to get there late on Wednesday..
IT seems in the middle of the different schools of thought.
a) get there a week before to acclimatise
b) the day before so you're still pumped.
Crusaders rugby captain Richie McCaw's reaction time was tested well before Friday's Super 14 defeat of the Brumbies.
To his horror, McCaw found his passport in a dishevelled state after going through the washing machine, but realising a trip to South Africa for the semifinals was a strong possibility, he lodged an emergency passport application on Wednesday.
A replacement arrived in time and the team left for Sydney today.
They won't leave there until tomorrow, as the third-qualifying Waratahs had first rights to business class seats for today's flight to South Africa.
