From Rudolph to Jacobus: Here are the 'government names' of the Springboks stars currently in France for the Rugby World Cup.
While many South African rugby fans are familiar with the names – and nicknames – of the Springboks squad, many are completely unaware of their real names.
This week, Springboks fans had a giggle when several rugby commentators revealed the real names of their favourite players.Since it gave everyone such a kick yesterday, here are the ‘government names’ of our Springbok heroes for the semi final! Meanwhile, Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber revealed his unchanged squad set to face England on Saturday.“We have a squad of 33 players, all of whom are very closely matched in terms of their skill and quality of play, which made it tempting to make changes this week, and it was tough to select this group both last week and this week. But we feel it’s now time to go with the players in the squad who we believe are in their best form.
