Ma’a Nonu – Midfield Beast

Ma’a Nonu was a destructive midfielder. He was quite short and stocky, but had power and pace to burn. He was quick off the mark for a big man and could easily cut through opposition defenses. After his breakthrough year in 2003, he struggled to cement himself as a regular All Black. He worked on […]

Doug Howlett – All Black Sprinter

Doug Howlett was a fantastic athlete and was one of the top try scorers, not only for the All Blacks, but also in Super Rugby. His eye for a gap, acceleration off the mark and general skills made him a threat whenever he touched the ball. He was a brilliant wing and will be remembered […]

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 […]

Tana Umaga – The Wellington Lion

Tana Umaga was a beast of a rugby player. He had the right combination of size, strength and speed to threaten any opposition back line. He had skills too… He could spot a gap when there wasn’t one, had beautiful hands and could finish better than most with a wicked side step. He is one […]

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 […]

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 […]
