It's one thing to have the best players, but it's another thing to have excellent team culture

Look how the players who aren't picked for this game encourage the ones who are

"On 20 June 1980 SAAF Impala Mk II tail-number 1037 being flown by Lt. Neil Thomas was struck by 23 mm anti-aircraft fire near Evale in Angola during Operation Sceptic/ Smokeshell. The Impala was struck by a 23 mm shell just forward of the cannon muzzle and debris was ingested by the engine. With maximum thrust selected but the aircraft still descending Neil ejected from the stricken aircraft as it was reaching tree-top level and was rescued by an Alouette Ill helicopter flown by Lt Andre Hattingh.

The story doesn't end there. The feisty Impala decided that it wasn't so stricken and did a perfect gear-up landing by itself in a conveniently located shona (open plain). The entire aircraft was recovered by a Super Frelon helicopter a few days later and was repaired and returned to service. Impala Mk I 1037, the brave little Imp that wouldn't die, resides today in the SAAF Museum at Port Elizabeth."
