Fourie Du Preez – Master Tactician

A lot of people would regard Fourie Du Preez as the greatest scrumhalf to ever play for South Africa, and that argument has its merit. He was a genius who was able to read the game better than anyone and what set him apart was his ability to make the right decisions at crucial times. […]

10 Classic Tries By The Sharks in Super Rugby

The Sharks have made the Super Rugby final on four occasions, but could never win the Southern Hemisphere’s toughest competition. Over the years they have produced some magic moments and in the early years of Super Rugby, they were South Africa’s flagship team. To wet your appetite for Super Rugby 2019, we took a trip […]

Jeff Wilson – The Golden Boy

South Africans, for some reason, always went on about how Jonah Lomu never scored against the Boks. But no one ever admits how many tries Christian Cullen and Jeff Wilson scored against us! I find it odd that Jeff Wilson isn’t always seen as one of the best All Black wings ever. He is probably […]

Golden Lions Rugby – The Glory Days

With the resurgence in Lions rugby in Johannesburg, we look back to 1993 and 1994 when Transvaal were the best provincial team in the world. This was an awesome team, lead by Francois Pienaar who won eight trophies in two years, including two Currie Cups and the first ever Super 10 in 1993. Enjoy the […]

Naas Botha – A Match Winning Genius

What can you say about a player like Naas Botha? He simply was the greatest match winner South Africa has ever produced. He had an uncanny ability to dictate a match. Dr. Danie Craven described him as a genius and a general. My dad told me the story of how 3000 people went to the […]

Israel Dagg – Attacking Crusader

Israel Dagg recently announced his retirement, which is way too soon for someone who has his skill. He was a tremendous attacker and will be remembered for the way he could cut a defensive line to pieces. He as quick and ran straight with a brilliant swerve to beat the opposition. He scored some amazing […]

Springbok Greats – Hennie Muller

Hendrik Scholtz Vosloo Muller was born March, 26th, 1922 in Witbank, South Africa. His International career was from 1949-53 in which he played 13 tests, of which 9 was a captain. Hennie Muller introduced a new style of play for a number 8 forward in the immediate postwar years. The clue comes in his nickname, […]

Syd Nomis – A Tribute For A Legend

Ou Siddie. It’s a funny thing about the Jewish players who have played for South Africa. With the exception of Geffin and Smollan they were all backs and most of them had flair, the flair our own coloured compatriots have, the flair the French have shown so frequently on the field. Syd could play as […]

Currie Cup Rugby Finals | 1939 – 1969

With the Currie Cup for 2018 kicking off this weekend, we thought we would put together a series of videos featuring highlights from all the finals from 1939 to 2017. We searched deep into our archive and found some great footage. The Currie Cup is still the oldest provincial rugby tournament and it’s history is […]

Theo Van Rensburg – An Attacking Threat

Theo van Rensburg could have, and should have played more tests for South Africa. For some reason, he just did not quite crack it at national level, but at provincial level, he showed real class and promise from a young age. He made a big impact at Tukkies and the at Northern Transvaal before moving […]

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 […]

Carlos Spencer – King Carlos

Carlos Spencer was one of those players who was just brilliant when he was on form. He broke into the Auckland senior side in 1995 and became an All Black in 1996. Unfortunately, he had to compete with Andrew Mehrtens for the All Black no 10 jersey. Merhtens was arguably a more rounded player, but […]

Stephen Larkham – Wallaby Genius

Stephen Larkham was a rugby freak. He didn’t fit the traditional mold of what an international should look or play like. 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 […]

Joe Rokocoko – The Rocket Man

Joe Rokocoko was an awesome rugby player. I thought his All Black career would last longer than it did, but boy, what an impact he made in international rugby. He scored a staggering 46 test tries in 68 tests for the All Blacks and plenty more for the the Blues in Super Rugby before moving […]
