Etienne Botha – The Unlucky Magician

Etienne Botha was one of those unlucky players to have never got a chance to represent the Springboks at the top level. He was a strong, stocky centre with deceptive pace and a sidestep few could rival. He started his career at the Falcons, but quickly made a name for himself when he joined the […]

Robert Du Preez – The Perfect Service

Robert Du Preez broke the mold of a typical scrumhalf in the late 1980’s. He was bigger and stronger than any of his predecessors and his box kicks and grubbers from the base of the scrum always ensured the Bulls are on the front foot. He started his career in Potchefstroom, playing for Western Transvaal […]

Pieter Hendriks – The Quickest Lion

Hendriks was a big, powerful, no nonsense winger who preferred utilizing the Maori side-step to dancing his way through opposing backlines. The long-time servant of Transvaal rugby may have only scored two tries in the Green and Gold, but his first is widely considered as one of the greatest and most significant in Springbok history. […]

Pieter Rossouw – The Underrated Try Machine

At 1.93m, Pieter Rossouw – dubbed “Slaptjips” – was one of the tallest wings in Springbok history. Ironically, his international career spanned exactly six years – he debuted against the British & Irish Lions on June 28, 1997 and played his final Test against Argentina on June 28, 2003. During that period, he played in […]

After represented South Africa at all levels, including captaining the U21 Springbok side in 1996 and 1997 and playing for the SA Sevens team in 1997, Skinstad made his debut for the Springboks off the replacements bench against England at Twickenham on November 29, 1997. The Zimbabwean born back rower was utilized as an impact […]

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 […]

James Small – The Record Breaker

James Small was a great wing for the Springboks during the 90’s. He broke Danie Gerber’s test record for tries when he scored his 20th try in his last test against Scotland in 1997. Controversy seemed to follow him around, but the fact is he was an individual, which is still rare in today’s rugby. […]

Joost Van Der Westhuizen – The Fearless Champion

What can be said about Joost Van Der Westhuizen? He is arguably the greatest scrumhalf in Springbok history. He scored an amazing 38 test tries, a record for a scrumhalf and one which will be difficult to beat. He is a World Cup Winner and he showed the world how to tackle Jonah Lomu head […]

Deon Oosthuysen – Blue Lightning

Growing up as a passionate Blue Bulls supporter, there was only ever one right wing that mattered, Deon Oosthuysen. Hindsight and the wisdom that comes with age have since put this into perspective. There were fantastic wings playing provincial rugby in South Africa in the later 80s and early 90s. On the right wing, most […]

Danie Gerber – Maestro of the Midfield

Danie Gerber simply is the best Springbok ever. I’m sure this statement will open up debate, but no one will argue about his ability to cut open defenses. He had unbelievable natural pace and power and his sheer instinct to find the try line was something to behold. For many years Danie was the leading […]

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 […]

Niel Burger – The Power of Province

Niel Burger was one of the unluckiest players never to pull on the Springbok jersey. He was a devastating runner who finished like few could and scored some amazing tries for Western Province throughout the 1980’s. Ray Mordt, injuries and erratic form kept him out of the national picture, but when he was hot, he […]

Ray Mordt – The Gold Standard

It’s a shame that South Africa wasn’t able to play more tests during the isolation years. Players like Gerber, Botha, Du Plessis and Heunis would have lit up the international stage. Another fantastic player from that era was Ray Mordt, an impressive wing who could outpace most and run over anyone when necessary. Ray Mordt […]

Uli Schmidt – The Maverick in the Pack

Uli Schmidt was arguably the greatest hooker to ever represent South Africa. He broke the typical mold and was a mobile player who often acted as an extra loose forward. He could run like a centre and was exceptionally strong for his size. He scored 74 first class tries, which is uncanny for a hooker. […]

Super Rugby – Bulls vs Stormers 27 February 1999

The Blue Bulls won the Currie Cup in 1998 against Western Province and much was expected of the men from Pretoria in the 1999 Super Rugby, but they had a dismal season. The Stormers on the other hand reached the semi-finals for the first time. They went to Loftus and gave the Bulls a proper […]

1990 Currie Cup Final – Northern Transvaal vs Natal

Natal came into the 1990 Currie Cup as major underdogs. In their 100 year history, they have never won the Currie Cup and no-one expected them to do so against the mighty Northern Transvaal, who have won the Currie Cup in 1987, 1988 and 1989. But in rugby, anything can happen and with Wahl Batmann […]

In his last season playing first class rugby, Naas scored 5 drop goals against Natal in a Currie Cup game, seven years before Jannie De Beer did it against England. In total Naas scored 210 first class […]
