"25 GREAT SOUTH AFRICAN RUGBY SCHOOLS"
CorporateSport can offer our clients this very topical book as an ideal corporate or personal gift option for pupils, old boys, teachers and coaches.
The launch of the book last year was affected by COVID staff restrictions at schools which meant that the publishers had to wait for each of the 25 schools to send in their specific chapter reflecting their rugby history, statistics and pictures. This proved too much of a challenge under the COVID restrictions and it was decided to postpone the launch to the end of September this year.
Please see attached, a sample chapter from the book looking at the most successful rugby school in the country, Grey College in Bloemfontein.
Please ignore the gaps in the page lay-outs which happened when the publisher compressed the large file to e-mail it to us. The lay-out is all correct for the original print run.
We are able to offer a 20% discount on the book.
SELECTED SCHOOLS: Paarl Gym, Paarl Boys High, Paul Roos, Rondebosch BHS, Bishops, SACS, Wynberg BHS, Monument, Affies, Maritzburg College, Glenwood, Michaelhouse, Hilton, Dale, Queens, St. Andrews (Grahamstown), Selborne, Grey High, Grey College, Jeppe, KES, Boland Landbou, Helpmekaar, Drostdy and Outeniqua

“MIRACLE MEN”
When Rassie Erasmus took over as coach of the Springboks in 2018, few thought they had a chance of winning the Rugby World Cup. The Boks had slipped to seventh in the world rankings and lost the faith of the rugby-loving public. Less than two years later, jubilant crowds lined the streets of South Africa’s cities to welcome back the victorious team.
Sportswriter Lloyd Burnard takes the reader on the thrilling journey of a team that went from no-hopers to world champions. He examines how exactly this turnaround was achieved. Interviews with players, coaches and support staff reveal how the principles of inclusion, openness and focus, as well as careful planning and superb physical conditioning, became the basis for a winning formula. The key roles played by Rassie Erasmus and Siya Kolisi shine through.
The book is retailing for R275.00 (incl VAT). We are offering our clients the book at a discounted cost of R180.00 (excl VAT) or R207.00 (incl VAT).

"JA-NEE THE STORY BEHIND THE GAME"
Ja-Nee is not just an insider's account of what it means to be a young Springbok on the darkest day in South African rugby history -the afternoon when Willie John McBride's 1974 British Lions scored five tries to beat the Boks 28-9 at a packed Loftus Versfeld - but an insightful and sometimes hilarious study of two very different cultures.
This is rugby history as it has never been written before. It's the story of a rugby match from the inside, and of a series defeat that would traumatise the South African rugby establishment for years. A compelling rugby story that transcends rugby.
About the author

“LIONS IN AFRICA”
In 1891 the first rugby football team from the British Isles embarked on a tour of South Africa. This tour began a tradition that survived the financial insecurities of the pioneer years, two World Wars, sports boycotts, and the birth of the professional era.
This book covers the tours from when matches were played on dusty fields and rugby players were transported in carts over poor roads in the Karoo, in coaches that broke down and on slow trains that, on occasion, caught fire. Tours between the World Wars when South Africa dominated the rugby landscape across the world. It follows the famous clashes of 1955 when, for the first time, a crowd in excess of 90 000 attended a rugby match. It deals with the all-conquering 1974 Lions led by the legendary Willie John McBride. Finally, it focuses on the two Lions tours that have visited these shores in 1997 and 2009 following the advent of full democracy and readmittance to world rugby.

“JUST A MOMENT”
One of the greats of South African rugby shares the many layers of his colourful and eventful life. From rugby legend to businessman, wine farmer, cultural custodian, musician, father and grandfather, Schalk Burger’s memoir is an intensely personal and honest journey of the triumphs and hardships that have shaped the life of a much loved South African.
Burger is a storyteller extraordinaire and he’ll have you snorting into your beer as you read about run-ins with officialdom, fisticuffs on the field, how he became the first white Springbok selected from a Coloured team, and the day Cheeky Watson asked to wash his feet.
This is a glimpse into the life and times of one of the country’s most recognised figures, and told in the stories of the many lives that intersected with his. “Who am I, and how do I live? That is something this story will bring out of me.”
The book will be published in May and will be retailing for R275.00 (incl VAT).
We are offering our clients the book at a discounted cost of R185.00 (excl VAT) or R212.75 (incl VAT).
