Nah Cloudy your wee crush [ and who could blame you ?] on the Mighty Maccaw has blinded you to who I was alluding to in Number 9 .It was Peter Jones speech after one of the tests against the Boks in 1956 .

It was Natal in those days...and Banana Boys was their nick back then. In their centenary year in 1990 or 1991, they made a huge effort of building their team to win the Currie Cup. Without Google, they either won that year or the next, but they counted as one of our better provincial teams ever since. Regardless of previous form, Natal produced great players before and after the big turnarounds and played in atleast one CC final prior to the 90's. Although they have rained on WP's parade too often in the last 25 years, they are still my favorite team after WP.
