Shaun Pollock, 38, captained the Proteas between 2000 to 2003 and also played for the Africa XI, World XI, Dolphins and Warwickshire.

Pollock retired from the international arena in 2008 after playing in his 303rd One Day International.

Between August 1997 and December 1998, under Mallett's guidance, the Springboks went on a record winning streak of 17 consecutive Test wins. As part of the unbeaten run the Springboks won the Tri-Nations and beat several teams by record margins, including a 52-10 win against France in Paris, a 68-10 victory over Scotland in Edinburgh, a 33-0 defeat of Ireland and a 96-13 thumping of Wales. Mallett moved to France as coach for the Paris club Stade Français from 2000 until 2004, which he led to two consecutive French domestic title wins in 2003 and 2004 before returning to South Africa where he accepted the job of Director of Rugby at Western Province. Mallett remains one of South Africa's most successful coaches ever, having won 27 of the 38 Tests played under his guidance.
