Well it’s all over,
Now I have another four years,
Another four years to wait
‘Til the Rugby World Cup is back.
What a wonderful tournament,
Rugby played at the highest level,
Enjoyed by all.
After all forty four matches,
All seen by me
The final was here,
England playing South Africa.
It was hard,
It was brutal,
But no animosity.
Won by the Springboks,
Deservedly so on this occasion,
Well done South Africa.
But throughout all the matches,
Both on and off the pitch,
There has been humour,
Humour, good heartedness,
Good heartedness and respect,
Respect for all.
Yes South Africa won the cup
But there was another winner,
Another winner in sport,
And that winner was the game,
The game of Rugby Union.
