Western Province Rugby has always been at the forefront of the game. Subsequently, the union played a significant role in the formation of the South African Rugby Board, which came into existence six years after the WPRFU. Furthermore, the book details how Western Province has contributed to the success of the Springboks by supplying a significant proportion of backline players both at home and on international tours. As a result of its success, Western Province Rugby has established a world-class rugby infrastructure. The book highlights the historic Newlands Stadium, which stands alongside international venues such as Twickenham, Cardiff Arms Park, Lansdowne Road, Murrayfield, and Eden Park. Additionally, the book delves into the unions financial growth, its extensive player development programs, and its ability to cater to over 20,000 players, from senior teams to primary school level.
Featuring over 550 rare and historical photographs - images that vividly capture the evolution of Western Province Rugby, showcasing its greatest moments and key figures. The book also includes an in-depth analysis of Western Provinces dominance in the Currie Cup, a trophy the team virtually monopolized in its early years.
