Sudafrica volvió en 1992 al rugby internacional / Springboks returned in 1992 to rugby international


(English language at the bottom of this post).

En 1992 los Springboks fueron readmitidos en el rugby internacional tras ser abolido el apartheid. En sus primeros partidos internacionales fueron derrotados: 27-24 por Nueva Zelanda el 15 de agosto de 1992 y 26-3 por Australia el mes siguiente. A partir de esas derrotas comenzó un camino que les llevó al mítico campeonato mundial de 1995.
La South African Breweries Ltd (SAB) http://www.sablimited.co.za/sablimited/content/en/sab-home ha patrocinado el rugby sudafricano desde entonces. En este blog ya publiqué una entrada sobre este tema: http://posavasosderugby.blogspot.com/2010/12/sab-world-of-beer.html
He encontrado un video que no puedo entender (lamentablemente no entiendo el afrikaner) Se trata de una parodia en la que Botha (histórico jugador de los Springbooks, retirado tras esta primera gira) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naas_Botha se alía con el Dr Craven para el regreso al rugby internacional. El Dr Craven es otro histórico del rugby sudafricano que en 1988 se reunió con el Congreso Nacional Africano (ANC) en Zimbabwe para devolver el equipo sudafricano a las competiciones internacionales. No lo consiguió pero fué un primer paso  para la formación del cuerpo unificado, la unión surafricana del balompié de rugbi (SARFU) en 1992, con Craven como su primer presidente, hasta su muerte en 1993. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danie_Craven



From 1990 to 1991 the legal apparatus of apartheid was abolished, and the Springboks were readmitted to international rugby in 1992. They struggled to return to their pre-isolation standards, and in their first games after readmission the Springboks were defeated 27–24 by New Zealand on 15 August 1992 and also suffered a 26–3 loss to Australia the following month
According to SA Rugby, South African Breweries Ltd (SAB) http://www.sablimited.co.za/sablimited/content/en/sab-home , since its re-introduction to international rugby in 1992, has been sponsoring South African rugby. In this blog already I wrote a post about it: http://posavasosderugby.blogspot.com/2010/12/sab-world-of-beer.html .
I have found a video that I can´t understand (I´m sorry but I don´t speak afrikaner) is a joke in which Botha (historical player of the Springbooks, retired after this first tour) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naas_Botha allies with the Dr Craven for the springboks return to international rugby. Dr Craven is another historical one of South African rugby that in 1988 met with the African National Congress (ANC) in Zimbabwe to give back the South African eteam to the international competitions. Although the deal did not lead to the immediate end of the sporting isolation, it paved the way for the formation of the unified body, the South African Rugby Football Union (SARFU) in 1992, with Craven as its first chairman, until he died in 1993 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danie_Craven
