Springbok Greats – Jannie Engelbrecht

Dr. Danie Craven on Jannie Engelbrecht: ” Jannie played for Stellenbosch’s third team in his first intervarsity match – and intervarsities reveals the players with big match temperament. It was immediately evident that he had the heart for the big occasion. He and Mannetjies Roux, who both played for South Africa so often, were by […]

Springbok Greats – Tom van Vollenhoven

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 […]

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 […]

Rugby Test Match – France vs Springboks 17 October 1992

The first test win for the Springboks since readmission! All in all, the 1992 Springbok tour to France and the UK was not a successful one. Having come off the back of two straight losses against the All Blacks and Australia, the Boks went on this tour as underdogs. Throw is rife provincialism within the […]

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 […]

Rugby Test Match – Springboks vs All Blacks 15 August 1992

The Springboks made their comeback to the international rugby scene against their biggest rivals, the All Blacks in 1992. The scoreline flattered the Boks somewhat as they were completely outplayed. It was clear that the years of isolation hurt South African rugby. But there were some flashes of brilliance and three great tries were scored, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Fourie Du Preez – Master Tactician

A lot of people would regard Fourie Du Preez as the greatest scrumhalf to ever play for South Africa, and that argument has its merit. He was a genius who was able to read the game better than anyone and what set him apart was his ability to make the right decisions at crucial times. […]

Breyton Paulse – Electric Finisher

Electrifying. That is the best word to describe Breyton Paulse. He was a try scoring machine and in a professional game dominated by big men, he stood out. Who would forget his back flips after scoring tries? What always stood out for me about Breyton is how he enjoyed the game and always played with […]

Rassie Erasmus – Ahead of his time

Johan “Rassie” Erasmus was the second famous son from Despatch in the Eastern Cape. He quickly made a name for himself in the mid 90’s when he started to feature regularly for the Freestate rugby team. After going on tour with the Springboks at the end of 1996, Rassie finally made his Springbok debut against […]

Rugby Test Match – Springboks vs Ireland 20 June 1998

After a strong showing in the first test against the Springboks in 1998, Ireland couldn’t get up for the second test a week later at Loftus Versfeld. The Boks outclassed Ireland and they tried to stay in the game with spoiling tactics and being overly aggressive. In the end, the Boks’ class came through, finally […]
