The Rugby World Cup Final is being played overnight and either South Africa or New Zealand will create history by winning it for the fourth time. Ireland and France are two great teams who have fallen short, by the smallest margins. In fact, there is no difference between these four teams.South Africa and New Zealand are rugby nations.

There are very few rugby supporters or connoisseurs who saw it coming. Even the most ardent Springbok supporters wouldn’t have expected such as emphatic victory. England were the outright favourites and expected to demolish South Africa in the World Cup Final – but the opposite happened.

I’m in the Kruger National Park in South Africa during a short holiday and as I watch an unlucky buffalo being eaten by 14 lions, I’m reminded of how stark the laws of nature can be. There’s no room for sentiment: Eat, avoid being eaten and protect the next generation – that’s it. The rules are clear and breaking them usually means death.It made me wonder whether we - as human animals - are a little too smart for our own good. Maybe applying the rules of nature would make life not only simpler, but also more successful.
