First match : England vs Black mambas

The English players will be banned from fields after dark because near their World Cup base there are a lot of deadly snakes. Killer pythons, spitting cobras, puff adders and black mambas are known to be on the hunt around the Bafokeng Sports Campus in Rustenburg. The electric fence around the base can stop pythons, but not smaller poisonous species.

The local medical team is prepared for emergencies. Anti-venoms doses are already stocked. The black mamba is a particularly deadly snake, with enough venom in a bite to kill several people.
