Our rugby history is an integral part of the South African heritage, 100 years of triumph and defeat, achievement and humiliation, have gone into the forging of a tradition of which the Springbok jersey is the proud symbol.

Ingeniously combining more than 125 00 words of text with over 400 photographs this is the most comprehensive book to be published on what can be described as the country's most enduring mythology - a South African odyssey in which the reader meets the giants and relives the magic moment.

The book is a tribute to all those who have played for South Africa. We look again at the great matches and moments and we remember the men who made the great. Through these pages march the mighty names of yesterday and today; some of them all but forgotten now and others whose fame could never fade.

With rare photographs from sources all over South Africa and even overseas, linked by an anecdote-studded text, Chris Greyvenstein has produced a unique and lasting monument to the greatness that once was. And always will be.
