Johannesburg - Cricket South Africa (CSA) extended its best wishes to the Springboks and Bafana Bafana on the eve of one of the most important weekends in the history of South African sport.

The Springboks start the knock-out phase of the 2011 Rugby World Cup with their quarter-final clash against the Wallabies in Wellington, New Zealand, on Sunday while Bafana Bafana are well placed to clinch their position at the 2012 African Cup of Nations in their final Group match against Sierra Leone at the Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit, on Saturday evening.

“This could be a memorable weekend for our nation,” commented CSA CEO Gerald Majola. “Our national teams are the greatest unifying force we possess and they are also a source of great upliftment at a time when so many people are suffering economic hardship.

“A double victory this weekend would also be a tremendous source of inspiration to the Proteas who embark on a tough series of matches against Australia in the next few days.

“We are confident that all our national teams are going to make us proud in the days ahead.”
