Jacana Media Solidarity Reads Day 21

2 November 2019 will forever be seared into the minds of South Africans, die-hard rugby fans and supporters of the sport. The Boks, under the leadership of captain Siya Kolisi and coach Rassie Erasmus, claimed an extraordinary victory as they stepped onto the podium and collected the Webb Ellis Trophy at the Rugby World Cup tournament in Japan.

If you’re hankering for those feel-good moments of the competition, and rugby anecdotes about the Boks on tour, the final book in our Solidary Reads campaign is just what the sporting soul needs.

Winging It: On Tour with the Boks

by Liam Del Carme

‘Perhaps the most delightful thing about Winging It is the lighthearted manner in which Liam Del Carme encapsulates instances that, with a less socially responsible writer, had the potential to spark a South African social meltdown. Liam is a storyteller through and through … and his stories are humorous, but above all, stories worth telling.’ – Xola Ntshinga, former SuperSport anchor

Well-known sports writer Liam Del Carme shares both the anecdotes that never made it into the newspapers and the issues that did. Crafted with his signature flair for detail and humorous writing style, Del Carme takes rugby fans and Springbok supporters on the ride of a lifetime with travels across the world as part of the press corps who follow the Springboks.

We get glimpses into the personalities of the big names in the rugby world: Gcobani Bobo, Jake White, Eddie Jones, Joost van der Westhuizen, Peter de Villiers, Jean de Villiers, Owen Nkumane, Chester Williams, Allister Coetzee, Heyneke Meyer, Rudolf Straeuli, and let’s not forget about our favourite South African-flag-speedo-wearing Bok, Faf de Klerk, and the 2019 Rugby World Cup-winning captain, Siya Kolisi.
