Ettienne Botha Rugby Tribute – His Greatest Tries

This is an updated version of our previous tribute to Ettienne Botha. When I think of players who should have been a Springbok, this man is top of the list. He was the ideal inside centre, he knew how to create play for his outside backs and he had an amazing eye for a gap. […]

The Story Behind The Springboks’ Return to International Rugby

In 1992 South Africa officially returned to international rugby after decades of isolation and limited opportunities to play test rugby against the best teams in the World. This is a look behind those first couple of months where the coach had to quickly assemble a squad of players to take on the four strongest nations […]

10 Classic Tries By The Lions & Cats in Super Rugby

The Lions have been the form South African team in the Super Rugby competition over the last couple of years. It’s amazing to think that in 2013, they did not play Super Rugby. Their story has been a strange one. They played as Transvaal in 1996, The Gauteng Lions in 1997, The Golden Cats from […]

Johan Heunis – All Round Class

Johan Heunis was one of the original “utility players” in South African rugby and played fullback, wing and centre for Northern Transvaal. But it was as a full back that he made his name and represented the Springboks. He was part of a lethal back line that included Naas Botha, Danie Gerber, Ray Mordt and […]

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 […]

Hannes Venter – Power and Pace

Hannes Venter was one of those provincial players who never had the opportunity to play at a higher level. He was a wonderful player who had electrifying pace (he was a junior sprint champion) and could beat defenders on the outside. He also had a solid left boot and a sound kicking game. Unfortunately injuries […]

Wahl Bartmann – As Tough As Nails

Watching footage of Wahl Bartmann again made me realize how tough he was. This guy didn’t shrug away from any physicality, was very quick around the field and was massive on defense. He was a very good ball carrier too and explosive on the run when given a little space. Wahl famously joined Natal from […]

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 […]

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 […]

Niel Burger – The Power of Province

Niel Burger was one of the unluckiest players never to pull on the Springbok jersey. He was a devastating runner who finished like few could and scored some amazing tries for Western Province throughout the 1980’s. Ray Mordt, injuries and erratic form kept him out of the national picture, but when he was hot, he […]

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 […]

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. […]
