Rugby Union Betting - Give It A Crest
By Paddy Power November 21 2008
You didn't think you'd ever hear mention of Archbishop Desmond Tutu on the PP homepage, but thanks to a row about the South Africa rugby crest, we can finally give the Nobel Peace Prize winner his first run out. The springbok has been the emblem of South African rugby for over a century, but due to the associations of the symbol with the Apartheid era, it is being replaced. That's led to a split between those who want a new symbol and those who think its grand, which is the side of the debate the Archbishop is on. "I support the retention of the Springbok and I pray we will look for better things to fight over," said Tutu, pre-empting what our gag was going to be. Will it be symbol stuff for the Boks when they take on England? Sat. 2.30pm SS2 Rugby Matches
