As Springboks fans look forward to the World Cup finale against New Zealand (All Blacks) this evening, somewhere in KwaZulu-Natal a fan park will be treating fans to a totally different game.

DETAILS ON THE MOEMISH POSTER

A poster with careless details has made rounds on social media after it promoted the Rugby World Cup but using incorrect information.

The poster with an Alfred Duma Local Municipality logo has invited Springboks fans to gather in numbers at the Ladysmith Sports Centre for the public screening of the finals. However, according to the poster, South Africa plays England.

Although this is a funny and forgivable mistake, the designer of the poster may not have been a staunch rugby supporter or simply missed editing England out of the poster due to unforeseen pressures.
Nevertheless, although the poster remains misguided, those who pitch up at the Sports Centre will be treated to the actual final, Springboks Vs All Blacks.

REAL FINAL: SPRINGBOKS VS ALL BLACKS

Here’s everything you need to know about the Rugby World Cup final showdown between the Springboks and All Blacks at Stade de France, on Saturday, 28 October.
