From the Introduction: "In the history of South African sport no event has caused so much real enthusiasm in South Africa, in the sporting man and the non-sporting man alike, as the despatch of the Rugby football team, which from its badge has become known, and will ever hereafter be identified as the Springbokken, to Great Britain".

A match-by-match account of the first Springbok tour, with reports, team line-ups and b&w action and team photos. The Springbokken Tour to Great Britain is one of the most sought after and scarcest publications in world rugby.
