Wahl Bartmann – As Tough As Nails

Watching footage of Wahl Bartmann again made me realize how tough he was. This guy didn’t shrug away from any physicality, was very quick around the field and was massive on defense. He was a very good ball carrier too and explosive on the run when given a little space. Wahl famously joined Natal from […]

Sonny Bill Williams – Midfield Maestro

Sonny Bill Williams will be remembered as one of the most creative and destructive midfielders to ever play for the All Blacks. He had amazing hands and an eye for the gap. Unfortunately he had to battle with Ma’a Nonu for the All Blacks’ no. 12 jersey. If it wasn’t for Nonu’s brilliance, Williams would […]

Unfortunately, he had to compete with Andrew Mehrtens for the All Black no 10 jersey. Merhtens was arguably a more rounded player, but […]

Pierre Spies – The Ultimate Athlete

Pierre Spies divides opinion. The general feeling is that at his best, he was bloody brilliant, but he never consistently lived up to expectations. With all that said, he is what modern rugby players needs to be; big, strong and fast. Love him or hate hims, the fact is he played some brilliant rugby, scored […]

Die Rugbyfabriek – Leon Schuster

This is something different. I grew up with the legendary rugby songs of Leon Schuster, who made many, many rugby themed albums, similar to what Max Boyce had done in Wales. The songs are in Afrikaans, so I guess its for a limited audience, but I hope you enjoy it in any case, its a […]

Adrian Garvey – Mobile Big Man

I think Adrian Garvey was quite underrated as a Springbok. He was a different type of tighthead – one that could scrum, but also one that was mobile in loose play and could run like a loose forward. He originally played for his native Zimbabwe and represented them at the 1991 Rugby World Cup, before […]
