Sinopse

"TOE EK IN MY EERSTE WÊRELDBEKERWEDSTRYD UITDRAF, WAS DAAR IETS SOOS 54 000 MENSE. JY SIEN NET KAMERAFLITSE, DIS AMPER HIPNOTIES . . . DIE COACH SKREE VIR MY: 'CHUCKY, WAARMEE IS JY BESIG?' TOE BESEF EK EK IS BESIG OM VIR DIE MENSE TE WAAI." – LOUIS 'CHUCKY' VAN DER WESTHUIZEN
Het jy al ooit gewonder hoe 50 000 ekstatiese ondersteuners op die paviljoen klink of wat dit beteken om 'n Springbokbaadjie in jou kas te hê?
In die aanloop tot die Rugbywêreldbeker het die joernalis Hendrik Hancke die land deurkruis om met oud-Springbokke, provinsiale spelers, breiers en 'n rugbyskrywer te gesels oor hul liefde vir rugby. Hulle deel persoonlike oorwinnings en teleurstellings, die lesse wat rugby hulle al geleer het, spesiale kleedkamer-oomblikke en stories oor wat van die veld af gebeur.
Schalk Brits verduidelik byvoorbeeld waarom dit so noodsaaklik is vir 'n Springbok om 'n spanspeler te wees, terwyl Gcobani Bobo aangrypend vertel van sy reis met rugby van King Williamstown tot Nieu-Seeland. Frik du Preez lig weer die sluier oor hoe dit was om in die 1960's te toer en die kattekwaad wat hulle aangevang het, terwyl Jean de Villiers deel wat dit beteken om Springbokkaptein te wees.
As jy Saterdagmiddae kliphard vir die televisie skree, of op die sypaadjie sal slaap om 'n kaartjie vir 'n groot wedstryd te kry, dan is dié boek vir jou.

    From the New York Times bestselling author of Saban and Lords of the Fly comes an exquisite collection of angling stories that span the twenty-first century.The thirty-one pieces in Rivers Always Reach the Sea—essays, as well as profiles of some of the biggest names in angling, including Lefty Kreh and Andy Mill—take the listener from the rainforests of Chile to the windswept tundra of Russia, from the remote mangrove-choked basins of Florida's Everglades to the congested littoral zone of New York City, and to many places in between.The quarry includes trout, Atlantic salmon, tarpon, bonefish, and striped bass, but the real quest is for something else entirely. Told in a voice described by the novelist, Carl Hiaasen, as "funny, wistful, and wonderful," the stories in Rivers Always Reach the Sea keep the focus on the "why" of the sport of fly fishing, and not the "how."
