Here's a Rugby thought for you...

In 1995, Francois Pienaar lifted the Rugby World Cup (RWC) trophy and handed it to Nelson Mandela, the first president of the "new" South Africa.

In 2007, John Smit lifted the RWC trophy and handed it to Thabo Mbeki, Mandela's successor and second president of SA.

Later this year, in New Zealand, the RWC happens again. Will John Smit hand the trophy to Mbeki's successor and SA's third president, Jacob "Showerhead" Zuma?


What are the odds on that?

Added to the above...no team has won the cup three times. Is this SA's chance for that too? All these three's...only thing missing is a third team captain, so maybe Smit may not get the captaincy after all...

9 to 1, I reckon. Wanna bet?

Your money's safe. Personally, I think JS will throw the match just so that he doesn't have to appear in a Zapiro cartoon with JZ...
