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. […]

Etienne Botha – The Unlucky Magician

Etienne Botha was one of those unlucky players to have never got a chance to represent the Springboks at the top level. He was a strong, stocky centre with deceptive pace and a sidestep few could rival. He started his career at the Falcons, but quickly made a name for himself when he joined the […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Springbok Greats – Danie Gerber

Dr. Danie Craven said of Danie: “He is a natural; you never have to tell him what to do, he instinctively chooses the right option. 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 […]

Golden Lions Rugby – The Glory Days

With the resurgence in Lions rugby in Johannesburg, we look back to 1993 and 1994 when Transvaal were the best provincial team in the world. This was an awesome team, lead by Francois Pienaar who won eight trophies in two years, including two Currie Cups and the first ever Super 10 in 1993. Enjoy the […]

Adrian Jacobs – Backline Bullet

Adrian Jacobs didn’t play enough tests for South Africa. He was a brilliant attacking player with and eye for the gap and explosive pace. He had to play second fiddle to Jaque Fourie, but when he wore the Springbok jersey, he wore it with pride. 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 […]

Jaque Fourie – Midfield Mastermind

Jaque Fourie was the complete midfielder. When you look at footage of him, you can just marvel at the way he could cut into a defensive line. He ran straight and he had size and speed to boot, so that made him difficult to stop. But on top of his attacking capabilities, we was the […]

Robert Du Preez – The Perfect Service

Robert Du Preez broke the mold of a typical scrumhalf in the late 1980’s. He was bigger and stronger than any of his predecessors and his box kicks and grubbers from the base of the scrum always ensured the Bulls are on the front foot. He started his career in Potchefstroom, playing for Western Transvaal […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Divan Serfontein – Highlights

To appreciate Divan Serfontein, one has to watch the videos of the best tries scored in South African rugby during his era. Then the terrific role he played, his quickness in the clearing of the scrum, the long passes, his nippiness and the fact that he was able to draw the whole defense before sending […]

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 […]

Francois Hougaard – An Explosive Talent

Francois Hougaard is one of those players who should have played 100 tests for the Springboks. He burst onto the scene in 2009 and scored some brilliant tries for the Bulls and the Boks. Unfortunately he was behind Fourie du Preez in the pecking order which meant he was often deployed on the wing, because […]
