EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures the South Africa rugby team group before the momentous second test of the 1984 England Tour at Ellis Park, Johannesburg. The match held great significance as it marked a significant milestone in South African sports history. Amongst the determined faces of these talented athletes, two men stand out - Errol Tobias and Avril Williams. Errol Tobias and Avril Williams made history that day by becoming the first black men to play for the Springboks, breaking down racial barriers in a sport that had long been divided along apartheid lines. Positioned at opposite ends of the middle row, their presence symbolized progress and change within South African rugby. The rest of this formidable team is composed of skilled players who were ready to face off against their English opponents. Johan Heunis, Danie Gerber, John Villet, Carel du Plessis, Divan Serfontein, Ockie Oosthuizen, Chris Rogers, Hempies du Toit, Schalk Burger Jr. , Rudi Visagie, Rob Louw are all captured in this powerful image alongside captain Theuns Stofberg and Gerrie Sonnekus.
