glory] with the All Blacks, the English and theì
French...
00.40.56 EDWARD GRIFFERS I don't think that 1/2ì

how difficult it is to win a WC & that fortune mayì
favour the brave but fortune is definitely aì

00.55.48 CUTAWAYS PRESS
00.57.29 EDWARD - RE EMBLEMS I think May 25 & Juneì
24, the Springbok emblem became a symbol of unityì
& I think if there were a perception of it being aì

the future.
