Mr Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that the Springbok squad, together with staff, returned from New Zealand on 10 October 2011, after their loss to Australia in the quarterfinals of the IRB Rugby World Cup;
2) further notes that they played a determined game against Australia in Wellington on 9 October 2011, although they lost 9-11;
3) recognises that the members of the squad showed their abilities and experience and put up a strong challenge for the title;
4) recalls that en route to the quarterfinals, the Springboks beat Wales, Fiji, Namibia and Samoa;
5) thanks the players and the staff for making South Africa proud; and
6) calls upon all South Africans to welcome the Boks home as heroes.
Agreed to.
