He brought something new and different to the Wallaby team in 1998 when Rod McQueen famously switched him from fullback to flyhalf. It transformed the way the Wallabies played and they became renowned for […]

In 1999 The Stormers were the premier side in South Africa and played some brilliant rugby. They went all the way to a home semi final where they lost to The Highlanders, but it’s fair to say that the Stormers played the most attractive rugby throughout the season.
