  1. Sport Trivia: Which South African golfer is known as the \”Big Easy\”? Answer: Ernie Els. His full name is Theodore Ernest Els. Ernie turned pro in 1991 at the age of 19. He is one of the most successful golfers in South Africa and the world. He is known as the \”Big Easy\” due to his large stature and seemingly effortless golf swing. He won 62 tournaments in his first 15 years as a professional golfer.

  2. The same whistle is blown at the start of each world cup – This is without a doubt one of our favourite rugby facts. Welsh referee Gil Evans used the same whistle to preside over Rugby games for 20 years, donating it to the New Zealand Rugby Museum in 1969. The tradition was revived for the 1987 Rugby World Cup, and the whistle has been used for every tournament since. Best not to think about how hygienic that 100-year-old whistle is.
