Additional Information

The Captains tells the story of 110 eventful and passionate years, the Springbok rugby captain has represented many things to many South Africans. He has united, and he has divided. He has thrilled, he has disappointed. He has inspired, he has disheartened. He has triumphed, he has failed. But he has always, always had an impact. In this racing and revealing narrative, Edward Griffiths depicts the men who have been able to call themselves “Springbok Captain” through their backgrounds, their triumphs and their disappointments. Bennie Osler, Danie Craven, Hennie Muller, Johan Claassen, Dawie de Villiers, Hannes Marais, Morne Du Plessis, Wynand Claassen, Naas Botha, Francois Pienaar, Gary Teichmann, Joost van Der Westhuizen and Andre Vos: relive the heyday of these rugby legends, not only through the recollections of the Lions, All Blacks and Wallaby captains who played against them.

This story is about much more than rugby. It offers an epic historical perspective on this remarkable country, viewed the prism of rugby.
