Good Morning Champions!
What a weekend. What a team. What a moment in history! Our brilliant Bok-to-Bok heroes have done it again – back-to-back Rugby Championship winners in one of the most tightly contested tournaments, adding yet another chapter of glory to their story.
Captain Siya Kolisi summed it up best:
“Thank you for the support, South Africa. Everyone in our country, no matter where you are from, you are represented by this team. Take courage, take hope, take heart in everything we do as a team. We know our country goes through a lot, and our wins don’t make a huge difference. But if they give people hope and joy for even a moment – that’s enough for us.”
From 2019 to 2025, the Springboks have gifted us so much more than trophies ~ they’ve given us pride, hope and a reason to believe. Back-to-back World Cups. Lions Series. Back-to-back Rugby Championships. The Freedom Cup. The Nelson Mandela Plate. The Qatar Airways Cup.
They’ve shown us that perseverance and persistence, despite all odds, bring the sweetest victories.
At TAG (Travel Assignment Group), we take the same spirit into our week:
✅ Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated daily.
✅ Showing up is half the battle.
✅ Rising to the occasion is where champions are made.
So here’s to a new week of possibility, opportunity and bold moves.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Happy Monday, Taggers – Travel far, soar high and keep that Bokke energy alive!
