Gavin Rich

Gavin Rich is an award-winning sportswriter who has covered South African rugby since the end of isolation in 1992. As one of few rugby writers to have worked with all of them, it put him in a position to write the story of the post-isolation Springbok coaches, which gave rise to his second book, The Poisoned Chalice. His first book was former Springbok coach Peter de Villiers’s bestselling autobiography, Politically Incorrect. Rich is contracted to Supersport.com and the Weekend Argus, but he also contributes to various other publications and radio stations. He was educated at Northlands Boys High School and Rhodes University.
