History of the Western Province Rugby Team
Due to the unbelievable level of success the side has experienced over the course of its history, some of the finest players to ever represent the Springboks have also played for Western Province, including Bryan Habana, Eben Etzebeth and Percy Montgomery.
Today, the Western Province rugby squad remains strong. However, it isn’t as star studded as it once was. In the current squad, only Hilton Lobberts has been capped by the Springboks. That said, the team remains packed with young stars of South African rugby and is well led by captain Nama Xaba.
