We wish them well as they participate in the World Model United Nations debates To the Andrean Community I will never forget my first rugby match in my first year of high school. It was a game we thought we were well prepared for, and we were certainly confident as we chattered along in the bus to the game. We had all ‘played a bit’ in our respective prep schools and as we ran onto the field of Highlands North Boys’ High School in Johannesburg on a frosty early Saturday morning, we were, at that moment, completely oblivious to the fact that the ‘big fish from a small pond’ were about to meet some proper (carnivorous, it seemed) big, big fish. Three minutes into the game (in an era that preceded any consideration of health-and-safety) I was moved from flank to replace our hooker who had been carried off the field injured, and from then on my memory is a sketchy recollection of studs, hard ground, and pain - lots of pain in all parts of my body. Some incidentally obtained, some deliberately inflicted, deep in the engine room of our oft backward moving scrum. I learned a life-long lesson about excellence as I lay face down on that hard pitch oozing blood from my nose and trying not to cry. True excellence is not about being the best of a bad bunch, or being good in a context.
