		Du Plessis, Porta and Fitzpatrick were in Monte Carlo as founder members of the Laureus Sports Academy, a body of former sportsmen who will gather each year to bestow Laureus decorations on current leading sportsmen.
		According to Du Plessis it was Porta who pondered whether rugby should set up an academy of its own - not to bestow awards but to establish a learned college of former players to preserve the ethics and values of the past and to provide advice on the direction the game should take.
		From a more parochial point of view, Du Plessis also lamented the fact that South African rugby was not making use of the human assets at its disposal.

	Cape Argus - Boks bank on some Morné magic
		Du Plessis, the former Western Province No 8 who retired from rugby in 1980 as the most successful Springbok captain of all time, has been asked by Springbok coach Jake White to hand out the jerseys to his players on Friday on the eve of Saturday's Tri-Nations clash with the All Blacks.
		The only other Springbok test victory over New Zealand in Cape Town was in 1976, when Du Plessis was captain of a Springbok side that beat New Zealand 15-10 at Newlands and went on to win the four test series against South Africa's biggest rugby rivals.
		Now the Springboks are hoping that Du Plessis, 29 years later, can help inspire a third test victory when John Smit's men run out at Newlands to defend a 10-match home unbeaten run against the world's No 1 side.

		Prominent white Springboks such as Carel du Plessis and Morne du Plessis (no relation) as well 96-year-old George Daneel -- the oldest living Springbok -- were also presented with new blazers.
		They represented the white-run South African Rugby Board (SARB) Springboks and at least had the chance of playing international rugby against the likes of New Zealand and the British Lions, although South Africa's pariah status meant the players of the 1970s and 1980s collected only a fraction of the caps they might have expected.
		Some of their white teammates, including legendary lock forward Frik du Preez, have boycotted the ceremonies, complaining that the honor of being a Springbok had been diluted.
