Mr Speaker, on behalf of the Chief Whip of the Majority Party, I move:
That the House -
1) notes the announcement last Saturday of the Springbok rugby squad to tour Europe during November and December 2009;
2) further notes that the world champions will play in test matches against France, Italy and Ireland, and warm-up games against the Leicester Tigers and the Saracens;
3) congratulates the 10 new caps in the squad who will represent our country for the first time;
4) believes that the team will prove once again why they are the number one team in the world; and
5) wishes John Smith, the team and the management good luck to maintain our country's dominance of world rugby.
Agreed to.
