ABOUT THE BOOK
Sanctioned and licensed by World Rugby, SARU and the MyPlayers organisation, BACK TO BACK is the official commemorative coffee table book celebrating the Springboks’ Rugby World Cup 2023 victory in France.
The book includes:
• First-person accounts from all 35 players in the squad, as well as head coach Jacques Nienaber and director of rugby Rassie Erasmus, of their memories of Rugby World Cup 2023, with full-colour double-page spreads dedicated to each one;
• Personal statistics tables for all players in the squad up to the end of Rugby World Cup 2023;
• Match reports, by SuperSport commentator Matthew Pearce, of all seven Tests played by the Springboks at Rugby World Cup 2023, including full team lists and points scorers, and full-colour action photography;
• Recognition of the ‘team behind the team’ – the Springboks’ management team members;
• Exclusive behind-the-scenes photography and images from the Trophy Tour in South Africa following the squad’s return home;
This official publication is not only a visual and personal account of the Springboks’ journey in France – the first time the Springboks have won back-to back Rugby World Cups – but also a document of record.
The hardcover edition of BACK TO BACK will be a limited-edition, single-print publication.
