About this book:
Rugby – is it love or addiction?
South Africans are mad about 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 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 kickstarted 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!
