Mr Speaker, I stand as a very proud Shark supporter to move this motion without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with pride the outstanding performances of the Bulls and the Stormers rugby teams in the semifinals of the Super 14 Rugby Competition on Saturday, 22 May 2010, which resulted in both teams winning their respective matches, thus ensuring that for the first time since 2007, the Super 14 Final will be contested by two South African teams, which will be played at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto;
2) acknowledges the exceptional performances of both sides throughout the tournament which has led to a historic final in which the Bulls will defend their title against the Stormers, which last contested a Super Rugby final eleven years ago;
3) further acknowledges that the Bulls' success last Saturday may be attributed to the enthusiastic support of the rugby fans who packed the Orlando Stadium in Soweto to witness the first historic rugby match to be played at this stadium and who, through their support for their team, created the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere which helped to spur the Bulls to victory;
4) congratulates both rugby teams on their respective victories on Saturday and the South African fans for making the Bulls' victory a truly auspicious occasion at the Orlando Stadium; and
5) wishes both teams everything of the best for the final on Saturday and enjoins all South Africans to support their respective sides in order to make the final a proudly South African event.
That underscores the importance of the right venue. If there are no objections I put the motion.
Agreed to.
