For any touring side their first visit to Cardiff Arms Park is always eagerly anticipated. For the Springboks today's match is an extra special occasion.

The Great American Novel
Whaling ships no longer leave Nantucket. Nowadays the ships hunt halibut not whales. But fishing voyages are still hard, long, and lonely; the whereabouts of the fish uncertain, the captain's rule absolute, the crew overworked and potentially restive. This CBS News documentary follows the fortunes of the Seattle on a 1,200-mile trip in the Gulf of Alaska; and passages from Herman Melville's novel (spoken by George Scott) are juxtaposed with the actions and thoughts of the captain and crew of this small Nantucket fishing vessel.
