24:43 Thank you for chatting with us - กีฬา
Thanks for the interview. Tiaan Strauss was one of my boyhood heroes too. He was always one of the toughest players on the field.
Tiaan Strauss, Danie Gerber and Cricketer Adrian Kuiper were my child-hood hero’s back in the early 90s …
Tiaan still sounds fresh off the boat
Wow what great interviews. Dankie, thank you from Finland
I would have liked to have heard more about his years playing league. While there have been some terrific backs who made the switch, off the top of my head I can't think of any forwards as good as Strauss to have converted (not saying that there weren't any, just that I'm not thinking of them).
Traan was one of the greatest ever to play the game.
My absolute hero! Even at 46 years of age...
Very popular guy! I never realised how short his Bok career was though!
I was at Newlands the day Province played a Boks XV when the '95 World Cup squad was going to be announced that evening. The morning of the game the papers disclosed that Tiaan was not going to be selected for the 95 RWC. Never has any 'visiting' team been booed like the Boks were that day. Newlands was absolutely hostile and outraged at what all Province fans felt was a great injustice
Which it was in all honesty
From a Province supporter, I always thought Tiana deserved more Bok caps.
I was amazed to see how few tests he actually played for the Boks!
Kitch Christie - Eliminated most of the Natal & WP guys, for his Transvaal team & Bias.
And won a World Cup …
there were the best team locally nobody can deny that
@@WalterWhite-sm2drI agree but tgeir is no doubt that Pienaar was probably the worst 6 ever to play for the Springboks.
Tiaan was a better player and captain,Francios Pienaar was not even a shadow of Tiaan !!
And they won the world cup😅
smart move by Megafoon to offer english speaking content
Thank you, Stuart. Trying to reach as wide an audience as possible.
@@megafoonsport Normally I only watch English content eventhough Afrikaans is my home language. Now I do watch and enjoy the Afrikaans ones as well. I think you will tract others like that.
