Past and present Springboks continue to help during pandemic
By Josh Raisey
South African players from the victorious 1995, 2007 and 2019 Rugby World Cup teams have all teamed up during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Captain of the 2007 team John Smit recently shared a photo of himself alongside 1995 fly-half Joel Stransky, former teammates Jannie du Plessis and Pierre Spies, as well as recent victors Elton Jantjies and Trevor Nyakane.
They were all shopping and packing food parcels for delivery as part of the South Africa Rugby Legends Association.

Nothing to do with fair or unfair for me. Purely about results & the manner in which the ABs were losing. I was optimistic in 2020 but only 3 wins from 6 tests played soon dented that. By the time Schmidt & Ryan were recruited in 2022, the ABs & Foster were a laughing stock & their win rate was in the toilet. Thankfully Schmidt & Ryan helped turn the ABs fortunes somewhat.
The biggest issue I had with Cane as Skipper was his absence for nearly 50% of tests played. Through injury. Buck Shelford wrote an article on this very issue in 2021, suggesting Cane should relinquish the captaincy & concentrate on getting fit for selection.

There's a strong argument that he's working both the eyes. It's his left hand he uses which is furthest from the ball he's contesting. His fingers are also clenched which I don't think is a natural way to try and rip a ball.
