Justin Marshall – Marshalling The All Blacks

Australia had George Gregan, The Springboks had Joost van der Westhuizen, Wales had Rob Howley, England had Matt Dawson, France had Fabien Galthie and the All Black had Justin Marshall.

Naka Drotske – Free State Legend

Naka Drotske was a tough as nails hard grafter who doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. He was a solid hooker who was accurate in the line out and did all the hard work up front. He jokingly told us that we probably won’t make a video of him, because he never scored tries. Well […]

Rory Underwood – England’s Attacking Thorn

Rory Underwood was a rugby legend. What he lacked in size, he made up for in speed and guile. Luckily for us rugby fans, he played in an era when the emphasis was not on size, but on skill, giving Underwood the platform to show the world how good he was. For years he was […]

Danie van Schalkwyk – Blue Bull Prodigy

Danie van Schalkwyk was one of those school boy prodigies in South Africa. He made a big name for himself in Kempton Park before moving to Waterkloof in his matric year and representing Northern Transvaal at the Craven Week.

Springbok Rugby – Greatest Ever Scrumhalves

Here is Real Rugby’s list of the five greatest Springbok scrumhalves in history. Very little footage is available of Fonnie du Toit and Danie Craven, but there is consensus in the rugby community in South Africa that both these players were legends.

Rugby Test Match – France vs Springboks 17 October 1992

The first test win for the Springboks since readmission! All in all, the 1992 Springbok tour to France and the UK was not a successful one. Having come off the back of two straight losses against the All Blacks and Australia, the Boks went on this tour as underdogs. Throw is rife provincialism within the […]

Francois Hougaard – An Explosive Talent

Francois Hougaard is one of those players who should have played 100 tests for the Springboks. He burst onto the scene in 2009 and scored some brilliant tries for the Bulls and the Boks. Unfortunately he was behind Fourie du Preez in the pecking order which meant he was often deployed on the wing, because […]

Patrick Lambie – Class Act

What a shame Patrick Lambie was forced to retire at the young age of 28. His continuous struggles with head injuries is testament to his toughness and his willingness to put his body on the line. Patrick played 56 tests for the Boks after making his debut as a 20 year old in 2010. He […]

Super Rugby – Bulls vs Stormers 27 February 1999

The Blue Bulls won the Currie Cup in 1998 against Western Province and much was expected of the men from Pretoria in the 1999 Super Rugby, but they had a dismal season. The Stormers on the other hand reached the semi-finals for the first time. They went to Loftus and gave the Bulls a proper […]

Rugby Test Match – Springboks vs Ireland 20 June 1998

After a strong showing in the first test against the Springboks in 1998, Ireland couldn’t get up for the second test a week later at Loftus Versfeld. The Boks outclassed Ireland and they tried to stay in the game with spoiling tactics and being overly aggressive. In the end, the Boks’ class came through, finally […]

Doug Howlett – All Black Sprinter

Doug Howlett was a fantastic athlete and was one of the top try scorers, not only for the All Blacks, but also in Super Rugby. His eye for a gap, acceleration off the mark and general skills made him a threat whenever he touched the ball. He was a brilliant wing and will be remembered […]

Matt Burke – The Complete Package

I just loved watching this guy play. Matt Burke was the complete package. He could join the line from fullback, was a good tactical kicker and was renowned for his accuracy when kicking for goal. He was instrumental in the Wallabies’ success between 1998 and 2003 and will go down in history as arguably the […]
