Brent Russell – The Pocket Rocket

The Pocket Rocket. Brent Russell hit the South African rugby scene like a thunder strike in early 2002 when he shone for the Pumas in the Vodacom Cup. He was given an opportunity in the Springbok trials and again impressed with his speed and skill. He was selected in the Springbok group and made his […]

Golden Lions Rugby – The Glory Days

With the resurgence in Lions rugby in Johannesburg, we look back to 1993 and 1994 when Transvaal were the best provincial team in the world. This was an awesome team, lead by Francois Pienaar who won eight trophies in two years, including two Currie Cups and the first ever Super 10 in 1993. Enjoy the […]

Western Province Rugby – The Golden Years (1982 – 1986)

Western Province dominated local South African rugby during the early 1980’s. To this day, they are the only side to have played and won five consecutive Currie Cup finals. That WP team was full of great players like Carel du Plessis, Michael du Plessis, Divan Serfontein, Calla Scholtz, Schalk Burger Snr and Niel Burger. Here […]

Northern Transvaal Rugby – Currie Cup Finals 1987 to 1991

During the 1980’s international rugby was a real commodity for South African rugby supporters. The Currie Cup served as the pinnacle of rugby in South Africa and the biggest rivalry was without doubt between Northern Transvaal and Western Province. Province dominated the Currie Cup in the early 1980’s, but the momentum shifted in 1987 when […]

Divan Serfontein – Highlights

To appreciate Divan Serfontein, one has to watch the videos of the best tries scored in South African rugby during his era. Then the terrific role he played, his quickness in the clearing of the scrum, the long passes, his nippiness and the fact that he was able to draw the whole defense before sending […]

Springbok Rugby – The Greatest Ever Flanks

The next video in our series focuses on the flanks. This is arguably the one position that has consistently delivered the greatest players over the years. A lot of thought has gone into this list of ten players and we’ve narrowed it down to these legends. Of course there will be some players who folks […]

Springbok Rugby – The Greatest Ever No. 8’s

The Real Rugby panel has selected their top 5 Springbok No. 8’s in history. This was a very difficult task as there have been so many great players in this position over the years and it is near impossible to compare players from different era’s. The final five we selected were Daan Retief, Tommy Bedford, […]

Rugby Test Match – Springboks vs Ireland 20 June 1998

After a strong showing in the first test against the Springboks in 1998, Ireland couldn’t get up for the second test a week later at Loftus Versfeld. The Boks outclassed Ireland and they tried to stay in the game with spoiling tactics and being overly aggressive. In the end, the Boks’ class came through, finally […]

Springbok Rugby – Greatest Ever Scrumhalves

Here is Real Rugby’s list of the five greatest Springbok scrumhalves in history. Very little footage is available of Fonnie du Toit and Danie Craven, but there is consensus in the rugby community in South Africa that both these players were legends.

Springbok Rugby – The Greatest Ever Fly-Halves

We’ve narrowed this down to five players who have all played brilliantly at fly half for the Springboks. the only really tough omission was of course Bennie Osler, who was a legend in the 1930’s. The order of the players will definitely be open to debate, but we hope you enjoy the action none the […]

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, […]

Etienne Botha – The Unlucky Magician

Etienne Botha was one of those unlucky players to have never got a chance to represent the Springboks at the top level. He was a strong, stocky centre with deceptive pace and a sidestep few could rival. He started his career at the Falcons, but quickly made a name for himself when he joined the […]

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 […]

Deon Oosthuysen – Blue Lightning

Growing up as a passionate Blue Bulls supporter, there was only ever one right wing that mattered, Deon Oosthuysen. Hindsight and the wisdom that comes with age have since put this into perspective. There were fantastic wings playing provincial rugby in South Africa in the later 80s and early 90s. On the right wing, most […]

1991 Lion Cup Final – Northern Tansvaal vs Natal

Earlier in the 1991 season Natal gave the Bulls a hammering, winning 54 – 15 at Kingspark. Northerns hit back in style with Naas back in the team and steering them to an emphatic victory in the Lion Cup final. The game was played at Loftus Versfeld on 27 July 1991. Northerns would go on […]
