Michael Lynagh: 'Room for a small one?'

In 1992, post-apatheid, reigning world champions Australia and South Africa locked horns for the first time since 1971.

Blessed with pulsating talents, Tim Horan, Michael Lynagh, Nick Farr Jones and David Campese, the Wallabies trounced the Boks 26-3 at a packed Newlands - a defeat that still remains their highest ever recorded in Cape Town.

Wing Paul Carrozza crossed twice, adding to Campese's earlier score while Lynagh would notch up 11 points with his trusty right boot. South African legend Naas Botha kicked the Boks only points.

Also on this week in 1485, the Lancs beat the Yorkies as Henry Tudor defeats Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth field. In 1692, one woman and four men, including a clergyman, are executed after being convicted of witchcraft during the Salem Witchcraft Trials in Massachusetts and in 1911, the Mona Lisa is stolen by a Louvre employee.

And it's Suk San Wan Keut! as they say in Thailand to Australian scrum-half Luke Burgess (25), Springbok legend Rudolph Straeuli (45), Argentina captain Felipe Contepomi (31) and former Pumas scrum-half Agustin Pichot (34).
