Who wrote and sung that song? Hmmmm... But I digress. The All Black name is infamous among Rugby Playing nations of the world. It stems from the First time the New Zealand Rugby Team travelled abroad to the home countries of England, Ireland, and Wales and played in their tradition uniform of a black jersey, black shorts, and black socks. They were labelled the team that played in All Black by the British press and the name stuck. On that 1905 extensive tour the All Blacks were undefeated on tour and have become the most successful team in world rugby since. The All Black name is not a name associated with racial issues. On that 1905 tour the All Blacks lost one game against Wales who were the dominant Rugby team in Europe at the time.

Chemar, congratulations on a spirited win by the Boks. Fantastic for South African Rugby, and fantastic for southern Hemisphere rugby. You guys will party hard into the night, and I suspect for a month or two after that. There are many contentious issues facing South African rugby, and things have not gone well for the team in the last four years. Let's hope this magnificant win will bring all the parties together for the benefit of South African and world rugby.

Ron, condolences on your loss. A stupendous effort by England for making the final considering their below par effort on the world stage over the last four years. In my view the try scored by Cueto after a brilliant break and run by your centre, and unbelievable handling by the backs to get the ball out wide could have gone either way. Had the try been awarded it could very well have been an England victory.

Lewis Hamilton's McLaren racing car could not have picked a worse time to have problems in that final championship race in Brazil. He had three pit stops during the race due to car problems (and that is not a recipe for winning races) and still finished seventh...unbelievable....It was enough to cause him the loss of winning the drivers championship by one point. He and his Mcaren team will be gutted. But lets look at the bright side, the guy is only 22. There are bound to be many F1 world racing championships that will come his way.
