South Africa

The  South Africa national rugby union team has a history speckled with adversity yet culminating in an incredibly inspiring story. With an interspersed playing schedule due to apartheid regulations and anti-apartheid boycotts, the Springboks have fought through troubled times to become a source of pride for the South African nation. Its “We are still #STRONGERTOGETHER” expression alludes to the 1995 World Cup championship team whose slogan, “one team, one country,” illustrated a first step toward unifying a divided nation. Today, the Springboks represent the entire South African nation as a commanding force on the Rugby world stage.  The squad has won the RWC 3 times and been World Team of the year twice.
