The Springbok maneaters fail at rugby
August 26 2008 (2 days ago)
In the African movie The Ghost and the Darkness, which chronicles the hunting and killing of the man-eating lions of Tsavo in 1898, engineer John Patterson discusses his attempt to kill the big cats with hunter Charles Remington. “Have you ever failed?”, asks Patterson. Replies Remington, “Only at life.”



Thanks Spiro. The Convicts are building a formidable record in the Bingham Cup, they have definitely won it twice, and possibly three times, which is impressive. They are a pretty physical outfit too. I recall a couple of years ago at Bondi Tens that some established teams thought they might beat the newly minted Convicts fairly easily, until the Convicts vs Navy game. It was a brutal encounter with not a few fists flying and some big tackles going in. There was a new respect around the ground after that.
