South African Rugby Goes Pro – Louis Luyt Interview 1995

In 1995 there was a global fight for rugby and luckily the Unions won the fight. Doc Craven always said that professionalism would ruin the game.

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.

That’s what he was – the ultimate rugby player. Jonah Lomu was an anomally in rugby. We have not seen his like before or after his career. The thing that made his special was that he wasn’t a one trick pony. He made a big impact in 1995 by running over people, but he developed […]

Jacques Olivier – The Finishing King of Pretoria

Jacques Olivier was a very talented wing with a wicked sidestep who scored some wonderful tries for the Bulls and the Springboks. Unfortunately he struggled with injuries during his career and if that wasn’t the case, he surely would have won more caps for Boks. He played a total of 17 tests and was unlucky […]
