Ruan Pienaar – Springbok Legacy

Ruan Pienaar was a player who often divided opinion. In our opinion, he was a very skilled player who could cover almost any position in the back line, just like his legendary father, Gysie Pienaar. Like Gysie, he was a fluid runner who could easily spot a gap and create opportunities for the players outside […]

Currie Cup Rugby Finals | 1990 to 1994

This is the 6th video in our series on the history of the once mighty Currie Cup. This week we look at the five finals played between 1990 and 1994. Again there was a shift in power with Northern Transvaal giving way to the rising powers of Natal and Transvaal. The 1990 final still gives […]

Andre Pretorius – Attacking Brilliance

Andre Pretorius had all the potential to be one of the best flyhalves South Africa has ever produced. He was an all round good player, who played flat against the defensive lines and was a more than adequate kicker of the ball. Unfortunately, he often suffered with serious injuries and he couldn’t make the Bok […]

Johan Roets – Mr Dependable

Over the last 20 years, Johan Roets was the unluckiest player to never play for the Springboks. He was quite simply, a superb rugby player. Solid under the high ball and great on the attack, he could have easily slotted into any Springbok backline. He retires after the 2007 Currie Cup, which was way too […]

Chris Badenhorst – The Freestate Flyer

Chris Badenhorst was brilliant, just brilliant. It’s an injustice that he only ever played two tests for the Springboks as he was a sublime finisher with electric pace. He held the South African first class try scoring record for many many years and he is still the greatest try scorer in Freestate rugby history. A […]

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 […]

Bakkies Botha – The Enforcer

Bakkies Botha will be remembered as one of the toughest rugby players ever. He never took a step back for anyone and his team mates knew they could always rely on him. Solid in the line out, a monster in the tight loose and a demon on defense. Bakkies also had incredible pace for a […]

Naka Drotske – Free State Legend

Naka Drotske was a tough as nails hard grafter who doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. He was a solid hooker who was accurate in the line out and did all the hard work up front. He jokingly told us that we probably won’t make a video of him, because he never scored tries. Well […]

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 […]

Springbok Greats – Frik Du Preez

Frik du Preez was named South Africa’s rugby player of the twentieth century by the country’s passionate fans of the game. Given that he retired from rugby in 1971, it was a significant expression of the esteem he continues to be held in. In many ways the vote extended beyond Du Preez’s performances on the […]

Matt Burke – The Complete Package

I just loved watching this guy play. Matt Burke was the complete package. He could join the line from fullback, was a good tactical kicker and was renowned for his accuracy when kicking for goal. He was instrumental in the Wallabies’ success between 1998 and 2003 and will go down in history as arguably the […]

Western Province Rugby – The Golden Years (1982 – 1986)

Western Province dominated local South African rugby during the early 1980’s. To this day, they are the only side to have played and won five consecutive Currie Cup finals. That WP team was full of great players like Carel du Plessis, Michael du Plessis, Divan Serfontein, Calla Scholtz, Schalk Burger Snr and Niel Burger. Here […]

1991 Lion Cup Final – Northern Tansvaal vs Natal

Earlier in the 1991 season Natal gave the Bulls a hammering, winning 54 – 15 at Kingspark. Northerns hit back in style with Naas back in the team and steering them to an emphatic victory in the Lion Cup final. The game was played at Loftus Versfeld on 27 July 1991. Northerns would go on […]

Tiaan Strauss Rugby Highlights

Tiaan Strauss was one of the best and toughest loose forwards to ever come out of South Africa. He played over a 150 games for Western Province and should have been part of South Africa’s Rugby World Cup squad in 1995. After being left out, he moved to Australia and later represented the Wallabies in […]

Western Province Rugby Highlights – Currie Cup 1997

Western Province were flying high in 1997. They missed out on the Super 12 after a poor Currie Cup in 1996, but bounced back with Harry Viljoen coaching the side. They won the M-Net Nite Series as well as the Currie Cup and that season saw the emergence of players like Percy Montgomery, Bob Skinstad […]

Francois Steyn – The Enigma

Francois Steyn is a bit of an enigma. With all his talent, we cannot understand why he hasn’t regularly featured for the Springboks or why he hasn’t played 100 tests yet. He is a superbly gifted player who can add value in any position in the back line and he has a prodigious boot on […]

Japie Mulder – Solid As A Rock

Japie Mulder was called up to the Springbok squad as a replacement on the tour of New Zealand in 1994 and impressed so much in the mid week games that he was quickly included in the test team. His peak was in 1995 and 1996, but he played his last test for the Boks in […]
