The Springboks and the Holy Grail by Dan Retief
A story of South Africa's quests for the Rugby World Cup. From the triumphs of Ellis Park in 1995 and Paris in 2007 to the heartbreak of 1999 and the shame of 2003, renowned journalist, it records the stories of human heroism and frailty, of great dignity and patent jealousy that transcended the realm of sport.
Dan Retief has established himself as one of South Africa's pre-eminent sports journalists in a career that has spanned more than 40 years. A multiple award winner, he has covered numerous Test matches in South Africa and on tours, reported on all four Rugby World Cups in which the country has competed, and was in touch with the team virtually every day as they marched to victory in 1995 and 2007. He is the author of former Springbok captain Wynand Claassen's controversial autobiography and record of the 1981 'flour-bomb tour', More Than Just Rugby, and was part of the team that produced SuperSport's acclaimed Springbok Saga series.
