Description
Springbok Saga: A Pictorial History from 1891 by Chris Greyvenstein is a richly illustrated history of South Africa’s national rugby team, tracing the story of the Springboks from the earliest years of organised rugby in 1891 through to the late 1970s. The book focuses on the major tours, famous matches, and defining moments that shaped South African rugby, including classic Test series and the long-standing rivalry with New Zealand. Presented as a pictorial history, it combines historical commentary with rare photographs of players, teams, and matches from different eras, making it particularly valuable as a visual record of the sport. The collection also includes a foreword by rugby figures Danie Craven and Morné du Plessis, which adds further historical context.
Springbok Saga: A Pictorial History from 1891 will appeal especially to rugby enthusiasts, collectors of South African sports history, and readers interested in the early development of the Springbok team and its place in the country’s sporting heritage.
