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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Springbok Greats – Naas Botha

The Naas Botha of today is a well-known rugby commentator on the South African Supersport Channel, but in his day as a player he was one of the most feared match-winners in the game. Botha was best known for his deadly boot – whether he was punting the ball, place-kicking or drop-kicking, he stood in […]

Springbok Greats – HO De Villiers

“I went to Dale College one year and the headmaster, a Mr Searle, told me he had a future Springbok who was then playing for the school. “H.O.” was a good looking, clean-cut youngster who was headboy of the school. I addressed the pupils and it was his duty to thank me. I understood he […]

Springbok Greats – Frik Du Preez

Frik du Preez was named South Africa’s rugby player of the twentieth century by the country’s passionate fans of the game. Given that he retired from rugby in 1971, it was a significant expression of the esteem he continues to be held in. In many ways the vote extended beyond Du Preez’s performances on the […]

Dr. Danie Craven said of Tom: “Tom first attracted my attention because of his speed, but he had weak hands. Many will disagree, but it is my belief that the further away from the scrum – in the three quarter line the less thinking there is to be done. When you’re on the wing you […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 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 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 hit the domestic scene like a tornado in 1995 and immediately made an impact at Western Province.

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 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 […]

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 […]
