A 1905 "write-away" postcard, sent from Stellenbosch, South Africa.
For my visiting friends who are not familiar with the Game, Stellenbosch
- in the heart of South African wineyards, not far from Cape Town - is
the one of the highest place of the rugby world (20,000 inhabitants
and... 80 rugby clubs !).
The Afrikaans-speaking University of Stellenbosch, the very cradle of
South-African rugby, has produced many of the country's great sporting
heroes, including more than 155 rugby Springboks... and not to forget
France and Stade Francais prop Pieter de Villiers... (and former coach Nick Mallet I believe...)
