Patrick Lambie – Class Act

What a shame Patrick Lambie was forced to retire at the young age of 28. His continuous struggles with head injuries is testament to his toughness and his willingness to put his body on the line. Patrick played 56 tests for the Boks after making his debut as a 20 year old in 2010. He […]

Pieter Hendriks – The Quickest Lion

Hendriks was a big, powerful, no nonsense winger who preferred utilizing the Maori side-step to dancing his way through opposing backlines. The long-time servant of Transvaal rugby may have only scored two tries in the Green and Gold, but his first is widely considered as one of the greatest and most significant in Springbok history. […]

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 […]

Israel Folau – Amazing Pace

Israel Folau is an incredible rugby player. This video was not created to fuel arguments, get people’s opinions on him or to create any sort of divide in the rugby community. One thing NO ONE can deny, irrespective of you opinion, is that he is one hell of a rugby player. In our opinion, Folau […]

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 […]

Gerbrand Grobler – Counter Attacking Brilliance

Gerbrand Grobler was a childhood hero of mine. He was, at times, erratic, but when he was on form he was sublime and was one of the best counter attacking fullbacks in South Africa. He could have played for South Africa and was unlucky to never get a chance. Unfortunately, Gerbrand tragically died in a […]

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 […]

Uli Schmidt – The Maverick in the Pack

Uli Schmidt was arguably the greatest hooker to ever represent South Africa. He broke the typical mold and was a mobile player who often acted as an extra loose forward. He could run like a centre and was exceptionally strong for his size. He scored 74 first class tries, which is uncanny for a hooker. […]

Christophe Dominici – The French Flyer

We are very sad to hear of the tragic passing of Christophe Dominici. He entertained rugby fans all across the world with his explosive pace and try scoring ability. His performance against the All Blacks in 1999 will go down as one of the greatest of all time. RIP champ and thanks for all the […]

Gaffie du Toit – Confident Brilliance

We named this video “confident brilliance” because Gaffie du Toit was at his brilliant best when he had confidence. On top form, he could kick drops from anywhere, land long range penalties and break the advantage line almost at will. Du Toit hit the South African landscape like a hurricane in early 1998 when he […]

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 […]
