Gavin Rich goes back to work after the Fifa World Cup, and there's little to be happy about with the Springboks, on Supersport.
" The final day of the Fifa World Cup felt like the last day of a really enjoyable holiday. The enjoyment is still there, you want to make every last second count for something, but you also know that what you are feasting on you are feasting on for the last time and that the following day it will all be over.
"The Monday after the World Cup final was a bit like the day after a really excellent and absorbing cricket test match. You’ve been completely enthralled for five days, it all built up to a thrilling climax, but now somehow you feel bereft. How are you going to fill up the empty time that is suddenly available?
"For many the answer to that question will probably be that we go back to work and start concentrating on the labour that pays us. In the instance of us sports scribes I suppose it should mean we start concentrating again on rugby issues and really start being interested in it again rather than just pretending to be."
