This is a behind-the-scenes look at South African rugby during the late 1990s. The book is written by Rob van der Valk, who was a close friend, confidant, and manager of Nick Mallett at club, provincial, and Springbok levels2.
The book pulls no punches as it lays bare the backroom deals and clashing egos that dominate South African rugby. It tackles issues of race, money, and politics, providing intriguing insights into why South Africa has slipped down the international rankings2. The narrative also delves into what really happened in the national setup under Mallett, including details about Springbok initiation, player selections, and pay deals
