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 […]

Jaque Fourie – Midfield Mastermind

Jaque Fourie was the complete midfielder. When you look at footage of him, you can just marvel at the way he could cut into a defensive line. He ran straight and he had size and speed to boot, so that made him difficult to stop. But on top of his attacking capabilities, we was the […]

Jean De Villiers – The Intercept King

Jean De Villiers will go down in history as one of the greatest centres the world has ever seen. He made his international debut two years before making his Super Rugby debut for the Stormers. He scored, and more importantly, created some great tries for the Springboks in his long and distinguished career which spanned […]

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 […]

Jeff Wilson – The Golden Boy

South Africans, for some reason, always went on about how Jonah Lomu never scored against the Boks. But no one ever admits how many tries Christian Cullen and Jeff Wilson scored against us! I find it odd that Jeff Wilson isn’t always seen as one of the best All Black wings ever. He is probably […]

Jeremy Thompson – Balanced Brilliance

Jeremy Thompson should have played test rugby for the Springboks. He was a grossly underrated centre who cut through a defensive line with ease and he scored some really great tries for the Sharks during the 90’s. A local talent that should not be forgotten. He was a seriously classy centre. Enjoy, and thanks for […]

Jesse Kriel – The Strike Runner

Jesse Kriel was a bit of a prodigy when he made his debut for the Bulls as a 20 year old in 2014. Now he is a Springbok veteran with a World Cup winners medal around his neck. He hasn’t always been the number one pick at 13 for the Springboks, but he scored some […]

JJ van der Walt – Blue Bull Flyer

This video has been requested many many times since Real Rugby launched. Die hard rugby fans will remember JJ van der Walt as a young Tukkie wing who broke into the Northern Transvaal side in 1988 and scored some great tries in a career that spanned six seasons until 1993. Oddly enough, 1993 was probably […]

Joe Gillingham – Power & Pace

Joe Gillingham was a bright young talent when he broke into the South African domestic scene in 1995. He very quickly made a name for himself with his strong & hard running. He had good pace for a big man and he should have represented the Springboks at test level. He was good enough. Thanks […]

Joe Roff – Brilliant Brumby

Joe Roff was a brilliant rugby player. Powerful and fast, he was a try scoring machine, famously racking up 15 tries in the 1997 Super 12 series (when only 11 games were played in regular season). He was also a good kicker of the ball and a phenomenal play maker, often creating opportunities for his […]

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 […]

Joe van Niekerk – The Prodigal Son

Joe van Niekerk was somewhat of a prodigy. He was a sublime schools sportsman and was undoubtedly the king of KES. He very quickly made an impact in first class rugby and was unexpectedly selected for the Springboks by Harry Viljoen in 2001 against the All Blacks. He played a blinder. He was a regular […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

John Mametsa – The Centurion

We called this video The Centurion, because John Mametsa was the first black player to play 100 games for the Blue Bulls and he was a soldier that you could go into battle with. He was tough and uncompromising. Maybe not the flashiest of wings, but he always played with 100% determination and never ever […]

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 […]

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 […]

JP Nel – Midfield Powerhouse

JP Nel was a very, very solif centre for the Bulls in his prime. A highly underrated player who loved running directly and also very aggressive on defense. He was part of the Blue Bulls setup that brought massive success between 2001 and 2009. It’s unfortunate that he never had the opportunity to represent South […]

Justin Marshall – Marshalling The All Blacks

In the late 90’s and early 2000 world rugby was blessed with some of the best scrumhalves to ever play the game. Australia had George Gregan, The Springboks had Joost van der Westhuizen, Wales had Rob Howley, England had Matt Dawson, France had Fabien Galthie and the All Black had Justin Marshall. Marshall was a […]

Justin Swart hit the domestic scene like a tornado in 1995 and immediately made an impact at Western Province. He was selected for the Springboks in 1996, but only ever played a handful of tests between 1996 and 1997. When he was at his peak, he was dynamite. He had exceptional speed and could finish […]

Leon Schuster Rugby Stories

For the true South African rugby fan, there is a inseperable link between rugby and Leon Schuster. He was famous for his rugby albums throughout the 80’s and 90’s and was South Africa’s answer to Max Boyce. He was also a very good story teller. This video is from a Afrikaans TV show called “Spies […]

Lion Cup – Northern Transvaal vs Natal 9 July 1988

Northern Transvaal was the top provincial side in South Africa in the late 80’s, playing in every Currie Cup Final from 1987 to 1991 and only losing one of those games. Here some highlights of the Blue Bulls in top form against Natal in 1988. They ran away with the game and beat the men […]
