Additional foreword is to assist reader in following the sequence of the boob:
The Captains: Doc Craven insisted, and quite rightly so, that every player who had been appointed as a Springbok captain should be appear in the book. After all, as Doc says: "They were the men who lead us to glory"
The individual players: As in the case of the captains each individual player appears in the sequence that he was selected to play for his country.
The Springboks today: Although this chapter forms the last part of the book it is probably the most fascinating. Many of the Springboks countrywide were kind enough to send me up-to-date photographs of themselves and their families.
