Wallabies great: ‘Magnificent’ Boks not killing rugby

While the Springboks’ triumph has been less warmly received in some parts of the world, their status as world champions is nothing more than their brilliance and fortitude deserves, says former Wallabies wing.

David Campese has emphatically hit back at suggestions that Rassie Erasmus and the Springboks are unlikeable.

In response, 1991 world cup winner and former Wallabies wing Campese told Planet Rugby that the critics don’t understand South Africa’s rugby culture.

“I think if you’ve lived in South Africa from 2004 to 2018 as I did, then you realise the South Africans have been through hell and back in terms of what they’ve gone through socially and politically.”
