The Fireside Springbok – The Untold Stories That Make the Boks Great (English)
Relive the heart, humour, and heritage of South African rugby with The Fireside Springbok by Mike Greenaway. This beautifully written book delves beyond match statistics and famous victories to uncover the lesser-known stories, colourful characters, and defining moments that have shaped the Springboks over more than a century.
From the Springboks’ first international match against Great Britain to modern-day triumphs, Greenaway brings to life forgotten tales and untold anecdotes that capture the soul of South African rugby. Meticulously researched and richly told, these stories celebrate both the triumphs and setbacks that have made the Boks one of the most iconic teams in world sport.
Perfect for rugby lovers, Springbok supporters, and anyone nostalgic for South African sporting history, this is a book best enjoyed slowly — fireside, favourite drink in hand, and pride firmly intact.
