Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes the announcement of the 30-man Springbok squad to travel to New Zealand in September to compete in the 2011 IRB Rugby World Cup;
2) further notes that this announcement follows the Springboks' 18-5 win over arch rivals New Zealand on Saturday in their final Tri- Nations clash at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth;
3) recognises that this victory gave the Springboks the much needed confidence and momentum to take the team into the IRB Rugby World Cup that starts in New Zealand on 10 September 2011;
4) acknowledges that eighteen members of South Africa's triumphant 2007 Rugby World Cup-winning squad were included in the 2011 group;
5) further acknowledges that the Springboks, having previously won the prestigious tournament in 1995 and 2007, head to New Zealand to try and become the first nation to win back-to-back World Cup titles; and 6) congratulates the individual members of the squad and wishes the touring party together with the coaching staff the best of luck as they aim to once again win the tournament. Agreed to.
