About This Item
(Johannesburg: Viking, 1996) 0670873578. 8vo; original blue boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xi + (i) + 228, incl. index; colour plates. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed, with trace of creasing to lower panel; edges a touch rubbed. Very good condition. "Springbok rugby will never know a year like 1995: a year when Francois Pienaar's side won the Rugby World Cup with President Mandela leading the entire country in salute, a year when rugby turned professional and the champion Boks won ten Tests out of ten, a year when South African rugby glimpsed its potential as a truly national sport enjoyed by all South Africans. Through this wondrous period, One Team was carried to victory by One Country. This book sets down the heart and soul of what was a truly great South African triumph: out of the mouths of some of the people who stood and cheered, finally together, as one country." .
