Mistakes in Springbok minyan story

Richard Kinross Johannesburg

The author states that there have been 10 Jewish rugby players who have represented South African in rugby tests.

He then proceeds to name them. The following are the errors:

Alan Menter never played in a Test match.

Joel Stransky is not Jewish.

Jack Milner apologises for saying that all these players had played in Test matches, rather that they were all Springboks, having played for their country. While Alan Menter may not have played a Test, he still played two matches for the Boks on the 1968 tour of France. As for Joel Stransky, he has been inducted into the Jewish Hall of Fame and won Maccabi SA awards. – Editor
