Jonah Lomu – The Ultimate Rugby Player

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 […]

Jean-Baptiste Lafond – Fantastic Finisher

One of France’s lesser known players was Jean-Baptiste Lafond. I became a fan of his during the 1991 Rugby World Cup where he was the joint top try scorer with David Campese. This video actually doesn’t do justice to his skills – he was a wonderfully balanced runner, with a swerve that caused opposing defences […]

Rohan Janse Van Rensburg – Explosive Runner

Rohan Janse van Rensburg is one of those players who should be in the Springbok mix every year. He is the complete package, he is a powerful, direct runner and solid on defense. For us, he should be one of the first names on any Springbok team sheet. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Chris Latham – Attacking Genius

Chris Latham was a lethal runner and overall brilliant on attack. He could cut defenses to pieces and liked running straight and hard. He was very good under the high ball and had a good left boot to take pressure off his team. He was one of the most complete fullbacks to ever play the […]

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 […]

Dan Carter – The GOAT

Simply put, Dan Carter is the greatest flyhalf to ever play rugby. He had everything. He could run, put players into gaps, a great tactical boot and a nose for the try line. His composure under pressure was world class and her will be remembered as an all time great. We loved putting this one […]

1997 Currie Cup Final – Western Province vs Freestate

Western Province had a woeful season in 1996 and missed out on Super Rugby action in 1997. The won the Night Series against Boland and they went into the 1997 Currie Cup season as one of the favourites. Their only loss came against the Sharks early in the season. Freestate would go on to upset […]

Rugby Test Match – Springboks vs Australia 22 August 1992

The Springboks made their return against the All Blacks the week before and although they were outplayed, many felt that they could have won that game. So hopes were high going into this test match against the reigning RWC champions. To say the Boks were outplayed was an understatement. Australia coped better with the wet […]

Jannie van der Walt – Underrated Lion

Jannie van der Walt was a seriously underrated wing during the 1990’s. He scored some brilliant tries for the Lions and Golden Cats in a career that spanned 6 seasons. He could have played for the Springboks and would have been a solid choice. Here are some of his greatest highlights. Enjoy and thanks for […]
