'This book belongs on the shelf of every genuine rugby fan' -
News24.com When Rassie Erasmus took over as coach of the Springboks
in 2018, few thought they had a chance of winning the Rugby World
Cup. The Boks had slipped to seventh in the world rankings and lost
the faith of the rugby-loving public. Less than two years later,
jubilant crowds lined the streets of South Africa's cities to
welcome back the victorious team. Sportswriter Lloyd Burnard takes
the reader on the thrilling journey of a team that went from
no-hopers to world champions. He examines how exactly this
turnaround was achieved. Interviews with players, coaches and
support staff reveal how the principles of inclusion, openness and
focus, as well as careful planning and superb physical
conditioning, became the basis for a winning formula. The key roles
played by Rassie Erasmus and Siya Kolisi shine through. There were
ups and downs along the way: beating the All Blacks in Wellington
during the Rugby Championship was a high point, but then came
Kolisi's injury, while in Japan the distractions of a volatile
support base sometimes shook the players' focus. Miracle Men is
filled with marvellous anecdotes and sharp insights. It is also
inspiring testimony to what can be achieved when a group of South
Africans from all backgrounds come together as a team.
