Breyton Paulse – Electric Finisher

Electrifying. That is the best word to describe Breyton Paulse. He was a try scoring machine and in a professional game dominated by big men, he stood out. Who would forget his back flips after scoring tries? What always stood out for me about Breyton is how he enjoyed the game and always played with […]

During the 1980’s international rugby was a real commodity for South African rugby supporters.

Divan Serfontein – Highlights

To appreciate Divan Serfontein, one has to watch the videos of the best tries scored in South African rugby during his era.
