The leaping Springbok on the green jersey of South Africa is one of
the most iconic emblems in world rugby. At the same time, no symbol
in world sport has ever done so much to divide - and then unite - a
nation. Respected by opponents and supported passionately by South
Africans, the Springboks have been a powerhouse rugby nation for
over a century, yet the emblem that now sits alongside the Protea
on the chests of the players was once a symbol of violent
oppression in apartheid South Africa, the epitome of the white
man's dominance over people of colour in the Republic. Told in the
words of Springboks past and present, Our Blood is Green explores
what it means to play for South Africa - from schoolboy dreams to
the sacrifices required to make it to the very top - as well as the
myriad difficulties the players have faced over the years, from the
horrors of apartheid through to the emerging rainbow nation in the
1990s and the multi-cultural World Cup-winning team of today. It is
a fascinating, powerful and poignant read that explores the unity
of a brotherhood that fights to transcend race, culture and class
while simultaneously striving to become the best team on the
planet. Our Blood is Green examines what it truly means to be a
Springbok and it is told the only way it can be - by the players
themselves.
