Being South African Im glad we lost, might just teach us to pull up our socks and win next
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

Was at the game last nite, what an atmosphere down there!!! Weren't on the terraces but they were going off, especially when they did the new Haka. Dunedin certainly knows how to put on a good show, although suffering from 2 hours sleep now.

In response to Waylader's question about Fijian pronunciation.
According to Rob Kay's FijiGuide:
"C is pronounced TH? Q is NG? And why is Nandi spelled N-A-D-I-?" These questions have been asked by every visitor to Fiji for the past century and even longer. This sketch of the Fijian language shows that early missionaries did not choose the unusual features of their alphabet at random, or because they ran out of certain letters when they began to print books in Fijian, as has sometimes been suggested.
Instead, there were reasons for their choices, and the result is a very efficient writing system - so efficient, in fact, that you can pronounce most Fijian words accurately if you learn a few simple patterns.
The consonant letters that seem unusual to English speakers are these: b, which represents mb, as in member.
d, which represents nd, as in Monday.
q, which represents ng+g, as in finger.
g, which represents ng, as in singer.
c, which represents th, as in father.

Oh and yes, I agree. Best game I've seen since the "test from heaven" the Bledisloe in Sydney (Jonah's last great game).
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Hope this helps.
The ad's getting boring though.

Good to see you're quoting your Shakespeare correctly.

Just faidin away!
That was a riveting test. Best for a long while. Could have gone either way and neither side could have really complained. I thought the ref was a bit off but I am biased. The Boks have certainly improved in attitude under Jake Whites coaching. I really thought that we would cream them this time. John.
