No Losers

No Losers here

England versus South Africa

I hope you are looking down Dad

He was the real Rugby lover

Played it in the Navy

Mum used to clean the team's dirty kit in
her washing machine

So it's fitting his adopted Home

South Africa the Rugby Springboks

Play England his place of Birth

For the Rugby World Cup Title

So no losers here but i know whom he would support

With a Castle Beer in hand surrounded by Family

But i am sorry Dad 

England are going to Win

South Africa are going to have to
settle for 2nd this time

Otherwise what was the point of us beating the All Blacks

No Losers here Dad

Either way we will all be thinking
of you over a Beer

As a winning or loosing tear

Reminds us all of the wonder year's

When you were here
