309 pages. 23.5 cm. by Siya Kolisi Born on the last day of apartheid in the impoverished Zwide township, Siya had no option but to grow up fast. Amid the casual violence and hunger felt during his childhood, sport had always provided an ooutlet, as it offered everything his home life at the time didn't - roles, rules and trust. But more than anything, it was rugby that saves him. In this extraordinarily intimate memoir Siya reflects on his career so far, recounting rising through the ranks during his early years and playing for the Stormers, to how he became the first black man to captain his country in 128 years, eventually leading South Africa to victory at the World Cup in 2019. 796.333092 KOLI 9780008431341 RDA 220623 20240903141732.0
