EAST LONDON - World champions, the Springboks have landed in East London, Eastern Cape where they will conclude their World Cup trophy tour.
Eight current Springbok players hail from the Eastern Cape, including Elton Jantjies, captain Siya Kolisi and veteran Frans Steyn.
Although the province has marked itself as the home to some of the best rugby players, there are still many challenges and obstacles facing the development of the game.
Right across the country, aspiring Springboks lack quality facilities and access to good training and coaching.
