It seems like every other week, a Springbok rugby player and their spouses are celebrating their wedding anniversaries or the birth of another little one.
The national squad are known for its strong ethos on family life, as implemented by coach Rassie Erasmus.
The Boks are even known to travel and stay with their wives and children to games abroad, which is uncommon for other national teams.
