Number 10s: South Africa's Finest Flyhalves 1891-21

Throughout the history of rugby, it has been the flyhalves who have gripped the imagination of rugby supporters the most.

Arguably the most crucial position on the rugby field, a flyhalf can almost single-handedly win a game for his team (remember Naas Botha's 1987 Currie Cup final, and Joel Stransky's drop kick in the 1995 World Cup final?).

South Africa has produced some of the most famous flyhalves in international rugby, and The Number 10s covers their and other remarkable players' stories.

From an older era, there are Bennie Osler, Tony Harris, Hansie Brewis (who never lost a Test), Keith Oxlee and Naas Botha; and, more recently, Henry Honiball, Joel Stransky and Morne Steyn.

The Number 10s also relives several of the magic moments of rugby's generals, such as the brilliance of Bennie Osler (1928), Tony Harris (1937) and Naas Botha (1981) versus the All Blacks; Jannie de Beer versus England at the 1999 World Cup; and Derick Hougaard in the 2002 Currie Cup final.

A fascinating and informative read for rugby fans of all ages.
