Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that the Springboks beat the British and Irish Lions 26-21 in the first of their three-match test series on Saturday, 20 June 2009;
(2) further notes that South African loosehead prop Tendai "the Beast" Mtawarira's outstanding performance resulted in him being Man of the Match;
(3) recognises that this win serves as a great boost for the Springboks, who last won a series against the British and Irish Lions 29 years ago;
(4) acknowledges the unwavering and vibrant support shown by Springbok fans in Durban and around the country on Saturday who heeded to the calls of the team to wear green and who proudly waved their South African flags throughout the match; and
(5) congratulates the team on their victory and wishes them well for the second match of the test series at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday, 27 June 2009.
Agreed to.
