History of Griquas
Due to the side’s rich history, the Griquas rugby team has produced several Springboks stars over the years. This includes some household names, such as Bjorn Basson and Willie le Roux.
Although the Griquas rugby team is no longer a powerhouse of South African rugby, the side remains highly competitive in the Currie Cup. No current or former Springboks currently represent the side, but the Griquas squad is littered with young and exciting talent. They’re now led by captain Ruan Steenkamp.
