God our father, who has led us on to victory, please continue Your inspiring guidance in this the greatest of our contests.
Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets us all on the paddock, shall not blind me to my duty, to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to the responsibility to my fellow Nannas.
Grant to our team that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success.
Let me not mourn for the men that sustain injuries, but rather let me be glad that such hereos have played.
If it be my lot to fall, let me do so with courage and honour in a manner which which will bring the greatest harm to the opposition.
Give us the victory, Lord.
