Showing the form that would carry them to the Webb Ellis trophy later in the year, the Springboks scored more than 100 points against their rugby neighbours. No full programme was given out- instead SA Rugby printed this 2 page list of the players at the last minute and it was only distributed to players, coaches and the VIPs present at the match. This ensured that this programme became a collector's item by the end of the game! R500
