“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 […]

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.
