Description: The first version of this cartoon shows an octopus draped across a rugby field. Text above reads 'And now for the real test' and on either side of the field are the names of the rugby teams 'Stags' and 'North Otago'. A second version lacks the text reading 'And now for the real test'. Refers to the Ranfurly Shield rugby game 9th July in which the Southland Stags beat North Otago 48-3. The 'octopus' refers to a two-year old "psychic" octopus, who has achieved national celebrity status in Germany for having a 100 percent success rating in choosing match winners. English-born Paul the mollusk, who lives in The Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany, has so far chosen the winner for every match that Germany has played in, having predicted that Germany would beat Australia, Ghana, England and Argentina but lose to Serbia. Paul makes his "predictions" when two plastic boxes are lowered into his tank, both containing a mussel and the German national flag in one box and the flag of the opposing team in the other.
