...question under discussion is a political, not a sentimental one. It is an acknowledged fact that the Transvaal is the weaker state, but weakness of itself has never argued righteousness.

Forbes '92, head coach last year, was out for the first time this season, but did not take a very active part in the work. M. Donald '99 and J.
