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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Naas Botha – A Match Winning Genius

What can you say about a player like Naas Botha? He simply was the greatest match winner South Africa has ever produced. He had an uncanny ability to dictate a match. Dr. Danie Craven described him as a genius and a general. My dad told me the story of how 3000 people went to the […]

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. […]

1990 Currie Cup Final – Northern Transvaal vs Natal

Natal came into the 1990 Currie Cup as major underdogs. In their 100 year history, they have never won the Currie Cup and no-one expected them to do so against the mighty Northern Transvaal, who have won the Currie Cup in 1987, 1988 and 1989. But in rugby, anything can happen and with Wahl Batmann […]

Naas Botha Kicks Five Drop Goals

Naas Botha was a rugby genius and the greatest flyhalf and match winner South Africa has ever produced. In his last season playing first class rugby, Naas scored 5 drop goals against Natal in a Currie Cup game, seven years before Jannie De Beer did it against England. In total Naas scored 210 first class […]
