The South Africans will undoubtedly have their legs a bit heavy this Saturday at the end of their game against Wales in Cardiff.
They spent a very, very hectic night from Friday to Saturday.
Housed in the Welsh capital in a luxury hotel, the Hilton located in the city center, the world champions were woken up twice by the hotel's fire alarm.
The first sounds at 4 o'clock.
All hotel guests woken up with a start must evacuate the premises.
The players and staff of the Springboks are obviously no exception.
In pajamas, the world champions meet in the middle of the night on the sidewalk one wonders what is going on.
In Cardiff on November 4th the nights are chilly.
Patrons of a nearby nightclub recognize them, but now is not the time for selfies.
Twenty minutes later, everyone has the right to return to their room, false alarm.
Apparently the Boks were evacuated from their hotel early this morning?

But South Africans barely had time to fall asleep again when a second fire alarm went off throughout the hotel. This time, it is 7.15 am and everyone takes the stairs again, heading for the sidewalk barely lit by the first light of day. This time again, the Springboks wait 20 minutes in the cold before returning to their room. Again, false alarm. It might not be wrong to think that a Wales fan had fun setting it off to upset South Africans.
The story does not say whether after this second waking with a start they were able to fall asleep again.
However, they must have found some freshness before the kick-off of the match at 6.30 p.m.
South Africa want to win in Cardiff for the first time since 2013. The Welsh, winners of the last Six Nations Tournament, want to take their revenge after their defeat in the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup face to the future world champions .
