Adrian Garvey – Mobile Big Man

I think Adrian Garvey was quite underrated as a Springbok. He was a different type of tighthead – one that could scrum, but also one that was mobile in loose play and could run like a loose forward. He originally played for his native Zimbabwe and represented them at the 1991 Rugby World Cup, before […]

Currie Cup Rugby Finals | 1990 to 1994

This is the 6th video in our series on the history of the once mighty Currie Cup. This week we look at the five finals played between 1990 and 1994. Again there was a shift in power with Northern Transvaal giving way to the rising powers of Natal and Transvaal. The 1990 final still gives […]

Naka Drotske – Free State Legend

Naka Drotske was a tough as nails hard grafter who doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. He was a solid hooker who was accurate in the line out and did all the hard work up front. He jokingly told us that we probably won’t make a video of him, because he never scored tries. Well […]

Syd Nomis – A Tribute For A Legend

Ou Siddie. It’s a funny thing about the Jewish players who have played for South Africa. With the exception of Geffin and Smollan they were all backs and most of them had flair, the flair our own coloured compatriots have, the flair the French have shown so frequently on the field. Syd could play as […]

20 Great Springbok Tries Against England – 2000 to 2009

This is our second video in a series featuring tries scored by the Springboks against England. In the early 2000’s England were dominating world rugby in the lead up to their win at the 2003 Rugby World Cup, but things soon changed. The Springboks started to dominate against them and scored some fantastic tries. Bryan […]

Hennie Le Roux – The General

Hennie Le Roux was an exceptionally talented rugby player. He was big in stature, but was tough as nails. When Naas Botha retired at the end of 1992, Hennie was the man earmarked to succeed the Springbok legend. He did so in 1993 and 1994, but was mostly selected at inside center in 1995 and […]

Andre Venter – The Iron Man

Andre Venter was a machine. He was the fittest player in the Springbok teams he played in and he never gave anything less than 100% on the field. He was a big man, with great speed and was also a very good line out option. He is one of the greatest Springbok flanks of all […]

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 […]

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!
