About: The Greatest Springbok Teams: Past to Present

The Greatest Springbok Teams: Past to Present features profiles and statistics of the rugby players and teams who smashed the All Blacks and Australia in their own backyards in 1937, the conquerors of Europe in 1951/52, those who faced the hungry British Lions in 1924,1980 and 2009, the Boks who lifted the World Cup in 1995 and 2007, plus many other great sides. The teams featured are the best of the best. From 1924 to the present day, from the amateur players of old who went to fight in the World Wars to the modern professionals who moved into business or became TV pundits, the author delves deep to find out what happened to the unforgettable names who made up these great sides.

And what does it really mean to be part of one of those great Springbok teams? The book includes interviews with Morne du Plessis, Rob Louw, Victor Matfield and John Smit, who reveal what's behind the magic of the green and gold. The Greatest Springbok Teams: Past to Present celebrates those Springbok teams that have become truly immortal in the eyes of their fans - it is a must-have for every rugby library. As a kid in South Africa you don't say, 'I want to win the World Cup.' You say, 'I want to play for the Springboks - at least once.'
