They had the good grace to leave it until Tuesday, but since then our colleagues on the South African edition of What Hi-fi? Sound and Vision haven't let us forget the result of Saturday's World Cup rugby final, writes Clare Newsome.

They will, of course, be running with a more familiar red-headed cover, but it's all part of the fun of having an extended family of overseas issues.

It's a great relationship to have, even if sporting rivalry does sometimes get in the way....(interestingly, our French colleagues have been strangely silent on the subject of the rugby).
