Springbok rugby: Uncovered by Mark Keohane

The years between 2000 and 2003 have been among the most turbulent in the history of Springbok rugby. The sacking of a series of coaches, a string of record losses, allegations of racism in the Bok squad, the scandal of Kamp Staaldraad and the early exit from the World Cup have rocked the once-solid foundations of the South African rugby world. Secrets, subterfuge and lies have obscured the truth about rugby in this country for many years. But now, for the first time, we can learn what really went on behind the scenes during this time of crisis. As communications manager for Sarfu between 2000 and 2003, the author witnessed at first hand what goes on behind closed doors with the players, coaches and administrators of South African rugby. In Springbok Rugby: Uncovered, he reveals the truth about many aspects of South African rugby: coaching, training, selection, contracts, politics, dirty play, team talks and transformation, to name but a few. Explosive, often shocking, this book exposes the dark heart of an exclusive, rarefied and deeply complex world.
