Fasten your seatbelt for a whirlwind adventure back in time with former Springbok loose forward Warren Brosnihan. Warren made his Springbok Test debut in a 61-22 annihilation of Australia at Loftus Versveld in Pretoria. He also scored a try in a memorable first outing in the famous green and gold jersey.
But a combination of injuries, coaches preferring other players and competing against a gifted generation of Springbok loose forwards meant Brosnihan’s Test career was limited to just six appearances.
Here Warren looks back at a special time in his life and Springbok rugby. He recalls the highlights, the lowlights and speaks frankly about all the incidents that took place in those days. This is a much-watch episode of Front Row Rugby!

Peter says: I love the Springboks and rugby is one of my favourite sports. Although as a sports journalist I am supposed to remain neutral, I always like to point out that before I became a professional, I was just a big fan! I hold a Masters Degree in International Journalism so at least you know I should be able to ask a good question or two! My dream is to do this KZfaq Channel permanently.

Peter, I think this was one of your best interviews to date and loved how Warren got into the more technical side of things, especially on how he defended Ron Cribb. I've never heard that about flankers putting a different knee forward - I keep on learning everyday! It was of course the Scotland test in 2013, with the Boks playing in the white jerseys. A few other interesting bits of trivia - it was also the test where Siya Kolisi made his debut and when the infamous Hamilton/Etzebeth scuffle took place. The following year Mbombela gave us the cracking test against Wales where we won with a last minute penalty try (Liam Williams shoulder-charging Cornal Hendricks into touch). Hope all is well in Doha!

Thanks Willie. Always great hearing from you! Not all the guys are as good as Warren when it comes to explaining the technical stuff so it was great getting that kind of information here. Yes, Scotland in our white jerseys with a certain Siya making his first appearance! I actually forgot about that important fact. All well in Doha and hope all is well with you ... wherever in the world you might be while reading this!

Thanks Stefan. Yes, Warren was a wonderful guest. So good to have him on and you could just feel the passion and love he has for this sport. He is of course still involved with commentary but you are right, it would be great if more of them stayed involved in some or other capacity.

Glad you enjoyed it! Warren is indeed a great ambassador for this sport. Superb guest on top of that!

That explanation of the tackle on Ron Cribb was particularly interesting. There are so many techniques applied during a test that we don't see or even know of

@frontrowrugby 4 ай бұрын

Yeah it was very cool. Warren's ability to explain those technical movements are superb. As you say there's a lot of stuff going on that us ordinary folks don't see but we love this game nevertheless!

As usual Peter another top notch interview! Warren Brosnihan was a great loose forward who should've played more tests- but he played in an era where there were outstanding world class loose forwards for South Africa!

Thanks Sean. So pleased you enjoyed it. And you are quite right, there were so many wonderful loose forwards in that time - even today when you look around. It's astounding how there are certain players who cannot even get into the Bok squad.

Italy was the opponent in 2013 in Nelspruit- I think? Or it could've been Samoa- either one!

You're forgetting the other team that was involved in that series.
