The Springboks made history in France in 2023 when they became the only
team to win back-to-back rugby world cups. Who can forget how the Boks
won by only one point in three games? Released on the anniversary of
this milestone, Twice the Glory by Lloyd Burnard and Khanyiso Tshwaku
investigates how this remarkable victory was achieved.
A recurring theme is the relationship between Jacques Nienaber and
Rassie Erasmus, one that goes all the way back to their university
days, how it developed and how, when watching the Boks play against
Ireland in 2017, they decided to come back to SA to ‘turn things
around’.
Nienaber is famously self-effacing but in a dedicated chapter and
interview, the authors examine the man who rose from physiotherapist to
world-beating coach. And how he combined with Erasmus to form a
world-beating duo. Rassie and Jacques had only 18 months to turn the
Boks around before their triumph at the 2019 World Cup. It’s all here:
the Covid disruption, the Siya Kolisi story, Rassie in hot water over
THAT video, injury blows and rising new talent as they head off to
France to do battle once again.
Twice the Glory is filled with drama, anecdotes and tears. This is a
story that will have you on the edge of your seat as you relive the
nail-biting moments. But it also includes penetrating analysis of what
contributed to making this Bok team the finest one in its history.
