In a post match speech that could so easily have become maudlin....Mortlock crisply said farewell. Reminding all SA fans again how much Newlands is part of world rugby. Eschew the white elephant, rugby belongs at Newlands.
Yeah dont make your problem ours - Newlands drips with atmosphere and hstory.
One wonders what the effect is on attendance where the ground is so large that it appears empty
That atrocity destroyed a uniquely quirky golf course and ruined Green Point's 1920s profile.
Mortlock was an inspiration to the young players and a gentlemen both on and off the field.
Played hard but never demonstrated when he was hit and dumped.
Thanks for all the years of great rugby and an excellent captain.
Trust he will not be lost to rugby for to long.
