From a European perspective, 2009 rugby season will end tomorrow with the third and final test match between British & Irish Lions vs SA Springboks in Jo'burg... then waiting for 2009-2010 big circus domestic championship (Top14 in France) to start again mid August... And also waiting for South Africa to play in Paris next November (ok, that's way ahead...)... Time to say "goodbye" !
So, here is another tribute to South African rugby, displaying a colourful series of cigarette cards issued in 1933 by United Tobacco. There are 65 cards in total, showing all kind of different teams (local teams, provinces... and the Boks...).Too bad, I only have 20 of them (hey, I'm not a serious cigarette card collector...). Below is sample and a Flickr diaporama... maybe you'll find your favorite team there...
