Weaving his own experience of the test through the commentaries of Gerhard Viviers, the voice of Springbok Rugby, SABC’s Kim Shippey and BBC’s Alun Williams, Macdonald tells the minute-by-minute story of that catastrophic winter afternoon.\u003cbr\u003eWith insight and unusual humour, his account explores the myths of Springbok rugby, sharing his theories about the badge, the jersey and the resolute Afrikaans rugby players who had never lost to the Lions before. Written nearly 50 years after the event in an idiosyncratic and colloquial style, Macdonald offers his impressions of a gifted generation of Lions, Phil Bennett, the unsmiling Mervyn Davies and the effervescent Gareth Edwards.\u003cbr\u003eThis is rugby history as it has never been written before. It’s the story of a rugby match from the inside, and of a series defeat that would traumatise the South African rugby establishment for years. A compelling rugby story that transcends rugby.\u003cbr\u003eAbout the author:\u003cbr\u003eDugald Macdonald played rugby for Western Province 1972-1974 and was capped for the Springboks against the British Lions in 1974. He continued playing rugby in Italy, for Oxford University, and then three years playing for Stade Toulousain, France. In 2001 he completed a 5 000-kilometre rowing trip across the Atlantic and four years later, he trekked to the North Magnetic Pole. He lives in Cape Town.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Dugald+Macdonald\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDugald Macdonald\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dugald Macdonald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379211780259,"sku":"9781991202673","price":295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781991202673_1246c85b-16aa-44dd-b54b-bf856ccd8e47.jpg?v=1776619630"},{"product_id":"9780241476024","title":"The Complete Fishing Manual","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the perfect book for you - whether you're an experienced angler or have only just picked up a rod.
