CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa are going to extraordinary lengths to make their players feel at home at the Rugby World Cup in England including putting grass grown at home in the dressing room before matches.

The Springboks have a theme around their participation in the Sept. 18–Oct. 31 tournament which they have dubbed ‘Home Ground Advantage’, suggesting the entire country will be behind them even if they are 10,000 miles away.
