Springbok rugby public relations manager Annelee Murray was with the team for 244 matches, during which time she worked with seven national coaches and 21 Springbok captains.

This is a celebration of her 20 year journey with the Springboks, she has unique stories to tell and most of the photographs in the book are her own images from her collection, many of which will be published for the first time.

The Chosen 23 is a unique interactive rugby book by well-known South African based rugby writer, Mark Keohane. The book centres around Keohane's selection of a Springbok Match Day 23 and World Player 23 from every player he has seen play live since 1992.

The book is not about test matches during this time, but rather about the players that made those test matches memorable. As with anything, this is a book based on opinion so there is no right or wrong which is why Keohane has made the unique decision to include the comments, opinions and reactions of fans throughout the book.

From Jonah Lomu's dismantling of England at Newlands in the 1995 World Cup Semi-Final to Springbok Glory in Tokyo in 2019 the book looks at the Players highlights as well during this period. In addition to the The Chosen 23 Keohane also discusses the merits of other players in that position. One merely has to read the Chapter 14 which discusses Springbok rugby wing greats such as Kolbe, Paulse, Pietersen, Small and Terblanche to appreciate the difficulty that the author was faced with in making his choice. It makes for both interesting and fun reading.

The Chosen 23 is a definitely a rugby fan collector's item and will provide enjoyable reading for those that have followed the game closely since 1992 as well as newcomers.

The years between 2000 and 2003 have been among the most turbulent in the history of Springbok rugby. The sacking of a series of coaches, a string of record losses, allegations of racism in the Bok squad, the scandal of Kamp Staaldraad and the early exit from the World Cup have rocked the once-solid foundations of the South African rugby world. Secrets, subterfuge and lies have obscured the truth about rugby in this country for many years. But now, for the first time, we can learn what really went on behind the scenes during this time of crisis. As communications manager for Sarfu between 2000 and 2003, the author witnessed at first hand what goes on behind closed doors with the players, coaches and administrators of South African rugby. In Springbok Rugby: Uncovered, he reveals the truth about many aspects of South African rugby: coaching, training, selection, contracts, politics, dirty play, team talks and transformation, to name but a few. Explosive, often shocking, this book exposes the dark heart of an exclusive, rarefied and deeply complex world.
