Rugby Test Match – Springboks vs All Blacks 15 August 1992

The Springboks made their comeback to the international rugby scene against their biggest rivals, the All Blacks in 1992. The scoreline flattered the Boks somewhat as they were completely outplayed. It was clear that the years of isolation hurt South African rugby. But there were some flashes of brilliance and three great tries were scored, […]

Adrian Jacobs – Backline Bullet

Adrian Jacobs didn’t play enough tests for South Africa. He was a brilliant attacking player with and eye for the gap and explosive pace. He had to play second fiddle to Jaque Fourie, but when he wore the Springbok jersey, he wore it with pride. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Breyton Paulse – Electric Finisher

Electrifying. That is the best word to describe Breyton Paulse. He was a try scoring machine and in a professional game dominated by big men, he stood out. Who would forget his back flips after scoring tries? What always stood out for me about Breyton is how he enjoyed the game and always played with […]

Rassie Erasmus – Ahead of his time

Johan “Rassie” Erasmus was the second famous son from Despatch in the Eastern Cape. He quickly made a name for himself in the mid 90’s when he started to feature regularly for the Freestate rugby team. After going on tour with the Springboks at the end of 1996, Rassie finally made his Springbok debut against […]

Ben Tune – The Red Rocket

Ben Tune was one of those hard, straight running wings who was fearless on attach. He burst onto the international scene in 1996 as a 19 year old and immediately made an impact for the Wallabies. In the late 90’s he was their man and a more than suitable replacement for the great David Campese […]

10 Great Springbok Tries Against England – 1994 to 1999

The Springboks vs England is a fixture that always produces either action or controversy. The South Africans tend to not like the English too much, so this match is always full of fire. For a long time the Springboks had the English’ number, but in the 90’s it was more even between the two sides. […]

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 […]

Gareth Edwards – The Player Of The Century

Gareth Edwards is the greatest scrumhalf that ever played rugby. He was able to always spot a gap, create opportunities and he score some magnificent tries. He will always be remembered for that try against the All Blacks in 1973, but even better was his effort against Scotland in 1972. We hope you enjoy this […]

10 Great Tries by the Sharks in Super Rugby

The Sharks have scored some great tries over the last couple of years in Super Rugby. They haven’t quite scaled the heights of the team of the 90’s, but they still played some creative attacking rugby at times. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

The South African Rugby Board celebrated its centenary in 1989 and as part of the celebrations, a World XV toured South Africa to play against provincial teams as well as the Springboks over two tests.

Christian Cullen – The Paekakariki Express

Christian Cullen was, in our opinion, the greatest fullback that ever played the game. He was an exceptional runner who could sidestep anything and instinctively create try scoring opportunities out of nothing. We still can’t understand how he played his last test at 27. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Gavin Johnson – The Magic Man

Some would say Gavin Johnson was a flash in the pan, and they have a case, but while he was on the scene in South Africa he had some brilliant moments for Transvaal and the Springboks. He hit South African rugby like a tornado in 1993 after failing to make an impact at Northern Transvaal. […]

Johan Heunis – All Round Class

Johan Heunis was one of the original “utility players” in South African rugby and played fullback, wing and centre for Northern Transvaal. But it was as a full back that he made his name and represented the Springboks. He was part of a lethal back line that included Naas Botha, Danie Gerber, Ray Mordt and […]

Joel Stransky – A Classic Fly Half

Joel Stransky was very underrated as a player. I don’t think the South African public realizes what a well balances, all round player he was. He was a classic fly half who had a very good right foot that could get his side out of trouble when under pressure. He was a more than competent […]

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 […]

Gerrie Germishuys – A Classic Wing

Gerrie Germishuys was a classic winger who regularly beat his opponents on the outside. Just watch his try against the All Blacks in 1981. When last did a Springbok winger beat his opponent on the outside like that? He will go down as one of the greatest Springbok wingers of all time. Enjoy and thanks […]

Springbok Rugby – The Greatest Ever Full Backs

The Real Rugby Facebook page held a poll recently for fans to vote for their top five Springbok Full Backs of all time. Obviously, these types of lists are always subjective and will cause heated debate, so think about it this way, the order doesn’t matter. All five players were legends in their own right, […]
