Aside football, two sports with huge popularity in South Africa are cricket 🏏 and 🏉 rugby.

Why can't Nigeria also do well in these two sports?

They don't have whites in their midst.

Forget talk, some sports are being influence by whites with European heritage

Where are the cricket and rugby facilities to train and grow talents into professionals that can do well in international competitions.

Even the primary sport, football, we can't organise and manage well

These are typical western sports.
South African whites influenced this in South Africa

As big as America is, they don’t watch ball. Their major sports are baseball, hockey, basketball and rugby. Football comes last

American football, I think they are similar but slight difference.

That’s even their most favorite sport. I’ve never understood the game, but their love for that sport no be here

South Africans are generally more interested and involved in health and fitness activities than Nigerians.ln marathons and Half marathon across the world for example,one is likely to have more South Africans taking part in the events than Nigerians.Chicago, London, Berlin Marathons are a few examples.Nigerians living in these countries are in thousands,yet very few are in sporting activities.

Wao a very tough match. South Africa eventually won England 16-15 at the semifinal of the Rugby world cup. I'm so happy! South Africa will now meet New Zealand at the final which I sincerely look towards another interesting match with all hopes that South Africa will be triumphant.

It was a great game against France too, the host country at the quarter finals. South Africa 29-France 28.
