Impressions

It has to be said, there is no possibility of an 

Ellis Park, Johannesburg, rugby match ever 

being influenced by bias less; idiocy isn’t in 

question except within referee’s ineptness - 

and a Pommie isn’t the blessing best for an 

on-field Jaapies arch hegemony, less likely 

for an All Black opponent’s quest, either for 

common rules to be played within propriety 

Or those orchestrated impressions of who’s 

‘infidel' normality is the one that matters; for 

th’ record, a missed conversion’s difference 

gave the Jaapies a win - deserved I guess,  

or am I imagining a game I didn’t see; what 

I like was how relieved th’ Jaapies seem’d
