Andre Pretorius – Attacking Brilliance

Andre Pretorius had all the potential to be one of the best flyhalves South Africa has ever produced. He was an all round good player, who played flat against the defensive lines and was a more than adequate kicker of the ball. Unfortunately, he often suffered with serious injuries and he couldn’t make the Bok […]

Joe van Niekerk – The Prodigal Son

Joe van Niekerk was somewhat of a prodigy. He was a sublime schools sportsman and was undoubtedly the king of KES. He very quickly made an impact in first class rugby and was unexpectedly selected for the Springboks by Harry Viljoen in 2001 against the All Blacks. He played a blinder. He was a regular […]

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 […]

Groen en Goud (Vat Hom Dawie)

This is one the most famous rugby songs in South Africa “Groen en Goud” by The Bats. This brings back memories of some of the greatest players and Springbok teams from the 1060’s. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Gerrie Germishuys – A Classic Wing

Gerrie Germishuys was a classic winger who regularly beat his opponents on the outside. Just watch his try against the All Blacks in 1981. When last did a Springbok winger beat his opponent on the outside like that? He will go down as one of the greatest Springbok wingers of all time. Enjoy and thanks […]

Os Du Randt – The Mobile Mountain

It’s a bold statement, I know, but in my humble opinion Pieter “Os” Du Randt was the greatest prop to ever play the game. He did struggle with injury mid way through his career and he was away from the game for two years before returning in 2003 and reclaiming his spot in the Springbok […]

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 […]

South African Rugby Goes Pro – Louis Luyt Interview 1995

In 1995 there was a global fight for rugby and luckily the Unions won the fight. Doc Craven always said that professionalism would ruin the game. It has certainly changed the game – I’m not sure if it was for the better. This interview is pretty much the moment rugby went professional in South Africa, […]

Robbie Fleck – The Hot Stepper

Look, you have to give Robbie Fleck some credit – he could side step. He wasn’t the greatest Springbok ever and had a relatively short international career, but he had pace to burn and did score some great tries. Here is a collection of his best. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Danie Rossouw – The Consistent Tough Man

Danie Rossouw doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He was one of the best Springbok forwards ever and one of the most versatile players to ever play for the Boks. He is also the most decorated player in South African rugby history, having won the Currie Cup, Super 14, Tri-Nations, the 2007 Rugby World Cup, […]

Morne Steyn – Mr. Consistency

Morne Steyn divides opinion among rugby fans, but one thing cannot be argued – he was as consistent as gravity. It was interesting making this video, because you can actually see how his style of play evolved over the years and although he was always a good kicker, he only really became famous for his […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 on Mannetjies Roux: “I walked past the field one day where the first year students were having their trials and I saw a youngster running through the opposing team every time he got the ball. Later I told Jannie Krige, the coach, that I had seen a centre who was outstanding. I […]
