Sanctioned and licensed by World Rugby, SARU and the
MyPlayers organisation, BACK TO BACK is the official
commemorative coffee table book celebrating the Springboks’
Rugby World Cup 2023 victory in France.
The book includes:
· First-person accounts from all 35 players in the squad, as well as head
coach Jacques Nienaber and director of rugby Rassie Erasmus, of their
memories of Rugby World Cup 2023, with full-colour double-page spreads
dedicated to each one;
· Personal statistics tables for all players in the squad up to the end of
Rugby World Cup 2023;
· Match reports, by SuperSport commentator Matthew Pearce, of all seven
Tests played by the Springboks at Rugby World Cup 2023, including full
team lists and points scorers, and full-colour action photography;
· Recognition of the ‘team behind the team’ – the Springboks’ management
team members;
· Behind-the-scenes photography and images from the Trophy Tour in
South Africa following the squad’s return home;
· Pages dedicated to the fans back home.
This official publication is therefore not only a visual and personal account
of the Springboks’ journey in France – the first time the Springboks have
won back-to-back Rugby World Cups – but also a document of record.

The hardcover edition of BACK TO BACK will be a limited-edition, single-
print publication.
