I attended the much anticipated Cape Town 10’s launch at The Grand, in Camps Bay on Thursday evening last week. It was everything I had dreamed of, and more. Especially when I saw Roxy Louw arrive with Hollywood superstar, Christopher Walken.

“I got this watch..”

Ok, it wasn’t Christopher Walken, it was actually ex-Springbok, Rob Louw. Forgive me, but I’m sure you’ll back me anyway. I remember asking Rob on another occasion, which Hollywood actor he had been told he looks like.

“None,” he replied.

“What about Christopher Walken?” I enquired.

“Oh ja,” he said, “I have heard that one before.”

Aha – sweet vindication…

Jokes aside, the Cape Town 10-a-side Rugby organisers, Bob Skinstad (The Character Formerly Known as The Loose Forward), Rob Fleck (The Outside Centre) and Ronnie Rutland, put on a magnificent evening, organised, quite obviously, by Marina and The Little Black Book team.

The launch was one thing and the hotness of the angels in attendance was another (we’ll get to that), but for me I’m pretty excited about the actual tournament in February next year. Dubbed the “J&B Met of Rugby Tournaments” we should expect something the likes of which has never been witnessed in Cape Town before.

“The rugby itself will be a sideshow, compared to the social side of things,” Skinstad was heard saying.

I bet, now let’s check out some of those angels.
