Springbok Greats – Hannes Brewis

Doc Craven said of Hannes: “It always amazed me that someone with such a slender, almost fragile build, could perform such huge tasks on the field of play. From the first time I saw him his kicking and exceptional quickness off the mark impressed me enormously. After he was chosen for the 1949 Springboks I […]

Springbok Greats – Danie Gerber

Dr. Danie Craven said of Danie: “He is a natural; you never have to tell him what to do, he instinctively chooses the right option. Show him that you have confidence in him and he will turn the world upside down! Danie possesses unusual strength, speed and agility and using those skills and at tributes […]

Rugby Test Match – Springboks vs Australia 22 August 1992

The Springboks made their return against the All Blacks the week before and although they were outplayed, many felt that they could have won that game. So hopes were high going into this test match against the reigning RWC champions. To say the Boks were outplayed was an understatement. Australia coped better with the wet […]

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 […]

Rugby Test Match – France vs Springboks 17 October 1992

The first test win for the Springboks since readmission! All in all, the 1992 Springbok tour to France and the UK was not a successful one. Having come off the back of two straight losses against the All Blacks and Australia, the Boks went on this tour as underdogs. Throw is rife provincialism within the […]

Theo Van Rensburg – An Attacking Threat

Theo van Rensburg could have, and should have played more tests for South Africa. For some reason, he just did not quite crack it at national level, but at provincial level, he showed real class and promise from a young age. He made a big impact at Tukkies and the at Northern Transvaal before moving […]

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 […]

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. […]

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, […]

Ruben Kruger – Silent Assassin

Ruben Kruger was arguably the greatest flank to ever play for South Africa. He wasn’t always in the headlines and some other players may have featured more than he did, but the fact remains that he was one of the hardest and most consistent rugby players in the history of South African rugby. He was […]

Pierre Spies – The Ultimate Athlete

Pierre Spies divides opinion. The general feeling is that at his best, he was bloody brilliant, but he never consistently lived up to expectations. With all that said, he is what modern rugby players needs to be; big, strong and fast. Love him or hate hims, the fact is he played some brilliant rugby, scored […]

Ollie Le Roux – Skilfull Monster

Ollie Le Rous was a multi talented sportsman. He reached the highest honours on the rugby field and he also won national colours in water polo. In the late 90’s he was mainly used as a “super sub” in the Springbok setup, but always made an impact when he came onto the field. Enjoy and […]

Justin Swart – The Speed Merchant

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 […]

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 […]

Tony Watson – The Flash From Natal

If you think of the legends that made Natal rugby the super power it became in the 90’s, Tony Watson has to be top of the list. He was part of a group of players, including Craig Jameson, Wahl Bartman, Hugh-Reece Edwards and Henry Honiball that laid the foundation on which the team of the […]

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 […]

Rory Underwood – England’s Attacking Thorn

Rory Underwood was a rugby legend. What he lacked in size, he made up for in speed and guile. Luckily for us rugby fans, he played in an era when the emphasis was not on size, but on skill, giving Underwood the platform to show the world how good he was. For years he was […]

Wynand Olivier – Better Than You Think

Wynand Olivier was underrated, there, I said it! He was often criticized for how he played within the Bulls’ structures, but for the most part, a lot of the criticism was unfounded. He ran very straight, had deceptive speed and scored some brilliant tries on top of the tries he created for players outside of […]

Percy Montgomery – The Full Monty

Percy Montgomery is one of those players who divides opinion. When he was good, he was brilliant and when he had an off day, people demanded his head. Love him or hate him, the fact remains he is the greatest point scorer in Springbok history and no full back has scored more tries for the […]

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 […]

Fourie Du Preez – Master Tactician

A lot of people would regard Fourie Du Preez as the greatest scrumhalf to ever play for South Africa, and that argument has its merit. He was a genius who was able to read the game better than anyone and what set him apart was his ability to make the right decisions at crucial times. […]
