KNYSNA NEWS - The South African Springboks blew the Argentinian Puma's away in their opening Rugby Championship clash this past weekend, and local photographer Elle Redman was on hand to capture all the action.

The Springboks finished their match against the Argentinians on Saturday, August 19 at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium with a resounding 37 points to 15. At half time the Boks were already in the lead with a 13 - 5 score.

In all the Boks scored four tries in front of their 44 000 adoring fans, with the Puma's only scoring two.

Including Elle and Knysna municipal speaker Georlene Wolmarans, a strong contingent of Knysna and Garden Route locals went to watch the rugby.

Elle said of the event: "It was amazing. To hear 44 000 people of all colours and ages standing together was awesome!" She added that she was the only woman photographer among 30 men photographers from South Africa and overseas.

"I was sitting next to a photographer who shot Wimbledon, wow what an honour!"

According to Elle, Reuters, Gallo Images, Associated press, all provincial papers and overseas publications were in attendance.
