Description
Few South African rugby players have evoked such strong emotions from fans and opponents alike as Corne Krige. Often brilliant, sometimes controversial, always committed, Krige played every game with passion and guts, leading from the front. As a player and team captain, he experienced both triumphs and defeats in a career that spanned some of South African rugby’s most turbulent years. His autobiography covers his career at Western Province, the injuries that plagued him, his captaincy of the Springboks and playing English club rugby. With customary frankness, he gives an insider’s account of controversial topics such as the racial issues in South African rugby and the politics behind the game, and reveals explosive new details about some of the events that shaped and, ultimately, ended his international career: Twickenham in 2002, Kamp Staaldraad and the 2003 Rugby World Cup. As frank and forthright as the man himself, this book will turn the South African rugby world upside down.
