Pieter Muller – Rock Solid

Pieter Muller was a well rounded centre who first made name alongside his brother Helgard and then next to Brendan Venter in the Freestate team. He was selected next to the legendary Danie Gerber for South Africa’s first test back in 1992 and scored a memorable try against the All Blacks. He will most fondly […]

Pieter Rossouw – The Underrated Try Machine

At 1.93m, Pieter Rossouw – dubbed “Slaptjips” – was one of the tallest wings in Springbok history. Ironically, his international career spanned exactly six years – he debuted against the British & Irish Lions on June 28, 1997 and played his final Test against Argentina on June 28, 2003. During that period, he played in […]

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 […]

Ray Mordt – The Gold Standard

It’s a shame that South Africa wasn’t able to play more tests during the isolation years. Players like Gerber, Botha, Du Plessis and Heunis would have lit up the international stage. Another fantastic player from that era was Ray Mordt, an impressive wing who could outpace most and run over anyone when necessary. Ray Mordt […]

Robbie Fleck – The Hot Stepper

Look, you have to give Robbie Fleck some credit – he could side step. He wasn’t the greatest Springbok ever and had a relatively short international career, but he had pace to burn and did score some great tries. Here is a collection of his best. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Robert Du Preez – The Perfect Service

Robert Du Preez broke the mold of a typical scrumhalf in the late 1980’s. He was bigger and stronger than any of his predecessors and his box kicks and grubbers from the base of the scrum always ensured the Bulls are on the front foot. He started his career in Potchefstroom, playing for Western Transvaal […]

Rohan Janse Van Rensburg – Explosive Runner

Rohan Janse van Rensburg is one of those players who should be in the Springbok mix every year. He is the complete package, he is a powerful, direct runner and solid on defense. For us, he should be one of the first names on any Springbok team sheet. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

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 […]

Ruan Pienaar – Springbok Legacy

Ruan Pienaar was a player who often divided opinion. In our opinion, he was a very skilled player who could cover almost any position in the back line, just like his legendary father, Gysie Pienaar. Like Gysie, he was a fluid runner who could easily spot a gap and create opportunities for the players outside […]

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 […]

Rugby Test Match – England vs Springboks 14 November 1992

The Springboks came crashing down in their last test of 1992. After leading at half time, they faded badly in the second half and England proved to be the smarter team, often exploiting the South Africans’ poor skills under the high ball. All that mattered was that the Springboks were back in world rugby and […]

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 […]

Rugby Test Match – France vs Springboks 24 October 1992

The Springboks surprised the rugby world in the first test a week earlier to beat the French, although Sebastian Viars had an off day with the boot. They weren’t so lucky a week later and were comprehensively beaten in the second test. Here are some extended highlights of that test match. Enjoy and thanks for […]

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, […]

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 […]

Rugby Test Match – Springboks vs France 26 June 1993

After a disappointing first season back in international rugby, the Springboks were full of hope for the 1993 season. They had a new coach in Ian MacIntosh and a new captain in Francois Pienaar, who would go on to achieve great things. The Boks kicked off the season with a two match series against France. […]

Rugby Test Match – Springboks vs France 3 July 1993

The Boks were a better team in 1993 under new coach Ian MacIntosh. There were sparks of brilliance in the first test which was drawn and expectations were high for the Boks to win the second test at Ellispark. After an early try by James Small, the Springboks couldn’t build on that early momentum and […]
