Rise: The Brand New Autobiography | 
pick"You are South Africa. Embrace it."
This is not the book for someone who is not a rugby (particularly a Springbok) fan. There are lots of play by plays of games and an assumption that you know the 2019/2024 team (he drops names like nobody's business not really telling you which side). Lucky me I am a massive Bok fan and was easily able to follow.
More than a rugby book though Siya takes us from his childhood poverty - going weeks living on ?
ChaoticMissAdventures Sugar water, his absent parents, his mother's death, and the fact that the first time he slept in a bet he was 13 and granted a scholarship to a boarding school to play sport. More than just a player Siya is a UN ambassador to end gender violence, him and Rachel Kolisi have 2 foundations one for getting resources to the townships of ZA and one that fights Gendered Violence in ZA. He speaks so well about the issues I am impressed. 3w
