The Springbok No. 8 – Backbone of the Back Row | Rugby Playbook

What does it take to wear the No. 8 jersey for the Springboks? In this Rugby Playbook episode, we break down the demands of the eighthman position within the Springbok system—one of the most physically and tactically demanding roles in world rugby. From ball-carrying duties and breakdown work to linking with backs and controlling the base of the scrum, the No. 8 is the heartbeat of the back row. We explore how South Africa has traditionally used its eighthmen, how the role has evolved in modern Test rugby, and what key attributes a Bok No. 8 must possess to thrive at the highest level. This episode lays the foundation for our follow-up Player Profile series, where we analyse and rate the top Springbok No. 8 contenders individually. But first—we get to grips with the blueprint.
