Andre thanks for almost breaking all my ribs in 1987, we played the selection games for Free state,, I played 6, the tryline was 2 meters away, we had a scrum, I picked up the ball and the line was clear, right there, en then everything went black.! Thanks Andre!

Andre Joubert - another legend of note! Such an exciting player and a gentleman on and off the field! Remember when The Sharks came to Zimbabwe about 1990 ish - great to watch them play and meet up with them at a restaurant in the suburbs. Andre was looking forward to returning on a fishing trip!👍

I agree with Jubba, coach needs to find his way, you chose player for their skills and then try and change them, bad. Rassie seems to bring the players into his decisions, surely he gets a lot of buy in on strategy.

Rassie kicks the right player more than he picks the most talented. Has to fit in first and foremost

SA did not beat France in that game. Their try was disallowed. The try by Reuben Kruger against the all blacks in the final was also disallowed. Was all a funny reffing businesses that went on in the 95 competition

Bha ha keep telling yourself that the Boks were not scared of Lomu. The whole game plan was build around ways to stop Lomu

@HeeniKeke 4 ай бұрын

Absolutely correct!! They love talking themselves up and putting on “tough man” look. Of course they were scared, worried etc…that’s reason they had to change way they played to mark one player

no one south african player could stop jonah. but they pack tackled him which is how we did it here at home nz when we played some monster like him leg trips if you could get away with it do it within reason of cause. you just had to go hard into guys like jonah who were masive. he had a field day with those northern hemisphere boys he ran all over them . he ran around them /through them & over the top of them it was funny watching those guys shit them selves. BUT NOT THE SPRINGBOKS... KIORA BROS!!

Yes, very interesting tactics they followed. I see even Os du Randt tackled him once !
