Independent Democrats leader Patricia de Lille has given all her staff the day off so that they can enjoy the victory of winning the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

"As a country we face many challenges and (we) take strength from the fact that the vision of a unified nation is attainable," says de Lille.

She added that she hopes employers will at least give staff some time off or declare today a holiday.

"As a nation we will have time to reflect that when we stand united, that we can win," says de Lille.
