About Springboks

The South Africa national rugby union team has a rich history; in fact, it is known to be one of the oldest national rugby teams in the world. The team has earned a great deal of respect on and off the pitch. From a narrow victory in the sport's first World Cup final in 1987 at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand, to a celebrated triumph in the 1995 final at Ellis Park in Johannesburg — staged under the watchful eyes of Nelson Mandela and Francois Pienaar, the team's captain and another great leader of South African rugby. The Boks won that match, 15-12, over the New Zealand All Blacks, and rugby has been played in South African stadiums ever since.

Former Springbok flanker Erasmus has work experience to draw from when creating a culture for the rugby team that requires hard effort and strategic planning to win. He has also guided the team into a new era of using a wider, more effective attack — "incisive offloads" were mentioned — with creative use of restarts in a way that "challenges conventional defensive structures," whatever that might mean. And Erasmus's vision and Kolisi's leadership aside, the Boks still win a lot in the traditional ways that South African rugby has succeeded historically: set pieces (lineouts and scrums) and a power game.

Springboks History and Achievements

Springboks Honours

The 1997 series win against the Lions was a display of Springbok superiority, something the modern team — noted for its not-so-slow evolution into a well-oiled machine of the National Rugby Championship — is still living up to at Twickenham. There, the 1997 "Bok" pitch looked something like this: relentless forward play by standard-setting locks and loose forwards — a pretty good copy of what's happening now in the N.R.C. and here with the "Boks." Back-line play featuring the opportunistic exploits of perhaps the most electrifying wing in the game, Chester Williams, and a then-unknown inside center named Marius Joubert, who earned the first of a slew of March Madness puns that writers have enjoyed since.

Springboks Key Players

Then back-line play featuring the opportunistic exploits of perhaps the most electrifying wing in the game, Chester Williams, and a then-unknown inside center named Marius Joubert. The wing forward from springbok country — no, not the one from the township who wrote this piece, but rather the former Afrikaans textbook writer born in politics who fathered la révolution Jacques Staude (can you believe it's been 20 years since the 1997 series win?). Staude is Grove Frederick's namesake; both were on that 1997 Lions tour — a brilliant performance that continues to earn Springbok rugby a bunch of championships.

Experience the Springboks live in action!

The matches in the forthcoming tour will take place at some of the iconic stadiums in the rugby world — the historic Twickenham Stadium in England, the expansive Stade de France in France, and the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Each venue offers a distinct atmosphere, with Twickenham's steeply raked stands enhancing the noise made by the crowd (82,000 rabid rugby fans can make for quite a din), while the Stade de France has been designed to accommodate some of the best acoustics in the world, making its near 80,000 fans sound even more impressive when combined. And finally, there's the Principality Stadium. There aren't many places in the world where the sights and sounds of 74,500 fans can be equated with pure magic. Still, all three venues herald the tour as one of the not-to-miss spectacles of the 2023 rugby calendar.

Springboks Stadium Information

Springboks Stadium Seating Guide

• Twickenham Stadium (capacity 82,000). The bowl-shaped arena provides tiered seating, with the lower tier affording close proximity to the action, while the upper tier offers panoramic views of the 100-meter pitch. Seats in the west stand grant unobstructed sightlines of the kicking game, a tactical advantage for those who appreciate strategic nuance.
• Stade de France (capacity 81,338). Designed with a retractable roof, the stadium's circular configuration eliminates blind spots, allowing any spectator to track the ball across the field, especially during line-out variations.
• Principality Stadium (capacity 74,500). Its steeply banked stands deliver an intense acoustic experience; the "North Stand" is renowned for housing the most vocally supportive fans, enriching the auditory experience.
• Aviva Stadium (capacity 51,700). The contemporary bowl shape ensures that all attendees have a sightline that is at least adequate, which is not something that can be said about all of rugby's great cathedrals.

Each of the iconic stadiums hosting Springboks matches offers excellent transport connectivity:

• Twickenham Stadium is accessible via Twickenham rail station, with regular services from London Waterloo. Match-day shuttle buses also operate from nearby Richmond station.
