Carel du Plessis - The Prince of Wings
Переглядів 15 тис.День тому
Like all true artists, Carel has a temperament which he sometimes has difficulty in controlling. His rugby started at Paarl Boys High and in the late 1970's he played in Craven Week as a stand-off half. It so happened that when he came to Stellenbosch he played at centre. We only found out after we had selected him at centre that he actually preferred the wing position. There was a bit of a squ...

The Naas Botha Story

Statistics alone have already assured Naas Botha of rugby immortality. It is a fact of life that new generations judge champions of the past solely on their legacy in record books and just as he was measured against the achievements of his predecessors, the match-winning qualities of future stars will be rated against the statistics Botha has left next to his name. Historians will see Botha as ...

The Pioneers - Black and Coloured Rugby Players in South Africa (1983 - 1993)

During the isolation years there were very few black and coloured rugby players who got the opportunity to play first class rugby in South Africa. Rugby was segregated and there were 3 different governing bodies running the game in South Africa. But there were some players who were able to break through and even represent the Springboks during this period, most notably Errol Tobias, Avril Willi...

    Incredible how SUPER rugby was completely mismanaged. When you had only 10 teams, all the internationals were crammed in fewer teams, It was almost test level in some games. I made a point to watch it when I lived in the UK. They watered down the product by stupid over expansion.

    The best runner in rugby I have ever seen. Such an easy looking sprinting style that was devastating in broken field. So strong for a small guy too - amazing and in my top 3 wingers / fullback players along with Shane Williams and Jason Robinson.

    This is gonna sting but in the big scheme of things Cully never won us anything of great importance. He was a unbelievably balanced runner - tryscorer but as a fullback / kicker left alot to be desired. For me he doesn't make top 3 All Blacks fullbacks of all time.

    Next year the came to Argentina, a more realistic fixture, with a propper team as opposed to the 1992 improvisation. They struggled to find they best shape tough dominating clearly only in the last test. The Tucuman match is often cited as a turning point as they faced an extremely hostile environment and a team more intrested on headbutting than scoring: ua-cam.com/video/WbJDDSLqfEM/v-deo.html
