    About this ebook

    Rugby - is it love or addiction? There’s little doubt that South Africans are mad for rugby. In this book some of the country’s most famous rugby fans, and a Springbok or two, put into plain words what the game means to them. The likes of DA leader Tony Leon, Spud author John van de Ruit and 702 talk show host John Robbie share their favourite rugby stories. Leon Schuster claims that playing pranks on his Shimla team mates kick started his career in comedy, while former Springbok Kobus Wiese reveals all in “What goes on tour doesn’t stay on tour”. Some tell of life lessons learnt on and off the field, while others recall memorable moments in Springbok rugby, or the glory days of student rugby - when they could still run!

      “Rugby Without Fans Is A Film Without Dialogue”

      Nov 3, 2020

      FANS. RUGBY fans. What would we do without them? Sadly, we are now finding out. Rugby is being played in ghost grounds, with just a mere splattering of coaches and coaching back-up, a few television technicians and a row or two of journalists. It is

      SOMEHOW, PROBABLY AGAINST THE ODDS, Super Rugby will celebrate its 25th season in 2020. Against the odds because who really thought that a cross-border competition originally spanning 10 time zones and two continents would survive as long as it has?
