These are the best of the best. From Fairy Heatlie, who played for South Africa against the British in 1891, to the genius Danie Craven in the 1930s, the inspirational Hennie Muller of the 1940s and 50s, and the charismatic Morne du Plessis of the 1980s, the author explores in fascinating detail what made these men the unforgettable names they are today. Beautifully illustrated from the author¿s personal collection of archival rugby photos, some of which have never been seen before, this is the book every true rugby fan will want for his or her collection of rugby memorabilia.
