Description: The cartoon shows the Springbok coach, Peter de Villiers, who is enveloped in a large Springbok jersey but has lost his limbs. He says '21 injured players out but when we pull on the 'Bok jersey we grow another limb!!...' The limb in question is a very long nose - a Pinocchio nose which increased in length with every lie. Context: A South African news report suggested that the players who were not in New Zealand for Saturday's test against the All Blacks were with technical director Rassie Erasmus at a training camp in Rustenburg despite missing the trip because of "medical reasons". But de Villiers said after the South Africans arrived in Wellington yesterday that he was surprised when told that players had been training. (NZherald: 28 July 2011) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: President Obama carries in his hand a document headed 'Debt deal' and sweats as he confesses to his deputy Joe Biden that 'We've suffered a crisis of confidence the like of which won't be seen again unless the All Blacks lose to Australia!!' Context: The cartoon refers to the huge interest in the US debt crisis at the end of July that ended in a deadlock that needed to be broken in order to prevent default on Tuesday 1 August. President Obama at the last hour made a compromise that many believe was weighted heavily in favour of the Republican stance that meant no change to taxation but cuts in public spending. The Rugby World Cup begins in September and the All Blacks are considered favourites but what if they lose? What then? Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
