The image captures the South African Rugby Union team's visit to a sauna bath in Funnell Street, Manchester. Standing on the sidelines is none other than Springbok manager Corrie Bornman, his eyes fixed on Gawie Carelse as he receives a soothing massage from skilled masseur Frank Mathews. The scene exudes an air of tranquility amidst the bustling cityscape. As steam rises around them, these rugby warriors take a moment to unwind and rejuvenate their bodies after intense training sessions. This snapshot showcases not only their commitment to physical fitness but also their dedication to maintaining optimal health during their tour.
