Johan Roets – Mr Dependable

Over the last 20 years, Johan Roets was the unluckiest player to never play for the Springboks. He was quite simply, a superb rugby player. Solid under the high ball and great on the attack, he could have easily slotted into any Springbok backline. He retires after the 2007 Currie Cup, which was way too […]

Frikkie Welsh – The Hard Hitting Bull

Frikkie Welsh was, in our opinion, very underrated as a player. We was built very solid and had great speed. He was a hard runner who often broke the line. He could play on the wing and in the center and scored some great tries for the Bulls during his great career. Enjoy and thanks […]

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 […]

Springboks vs Junior Springboks 12 October 1991

In 1991 South Africa united all it’s different rugby boards and unions into one governing body, The South African Rugby Board. We were still in isolation, but an “international” friendly was scheduled between the Springboks and the Junior Springboks, technically matching the 30 best players in South Africa against each other. It was quite and […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Andre Joubert – The Rolls Royce of Full Backs

There is a reason Andre Joubert was referred to as the Rolls Royce of full backs, he was just in a class of his own. Safe as a rock under the high ball, a highly educated left boot and the ability to join an attacking line made him one of the premier fullback in the […]

Cabous van der Westhuizen was a great winger. There, we said it! He wasn’t that popular up north, but that had more to do with his appearance than his ability. The laid back surfer was a potent finisher and he was one of those players for whom the ball always seemed to bounce right. In […]

I just loved watching this guy play. Matt Burke was the complete package. He could join the line from fullback, was a good tactical kicker and was renowned for his accuracy when kicking for goal. He was instrumental in the Wallabies’ success between 1998 and 2003 and will go down in history as arguably the […]

He scored, and more importantly, created some great tries for the Springboks in his long and distinguished career which spanned […]

Like Danie Gerber, Jonah Lomu, Brian O’ Driscoll and Jonny Wilkinson, David Campese is a once in a lifetime player. Some fans will say his form over the years has been erratic, but I don’t agree. He was a genius who pushed the boundaries and always tried something new on attack. Sometimes it worked (the […]
