      ​@Russell Turnerwhen it comes to rankings we a 6'7/10, springboks are not consistent but come World cup time springboks are a different animal we 8'9/10. defending the number 1 ranking is the last thing on the Sprinboks mind

    I was lucky enough to watch all the pool games in 2007 in France as we lived on Jersey in the channel Islands my Wife and I caught the train to Paris and watched as the Boks trashed England 36-0 I think Forrie as you said is still one of the most outstanding rugby players to pull the Bok jersey on!!!!

    What a great man and rugby player. It was crazy but I ran into Victor at a hotel in Paris just before the 1st game against England in the 2007 World Cup and did not expect him there and neither recognized him in his civies. The hotel lobby was also dimly lit. He had some problem finding a guest and I made a fool of myself by asking: "Hoekom sukkel die boertjies so?" - pertaining to issue of the guest. Asking if he is going to see the match he smiled and said: "I am actually playing". Go figure! We were greatly rewarded by the massive victory that followed.

    One of the greatest Bulls captains of all time, all round great player, used to come in to have his sponsor vehicles serviced at Toits Motors where I worked at the time. Man was massive but such a nice bloke. Greatest Bulls team of all time was captained by this legend. Man I miss that team...

      I read a story of a coach taking over an NFL team and predicting in his first meeting with his players a Super Bowl victory within four years. The players all cheered in response, and he cut them off, saying, "I don't what you're cheering for. I'll have cut 90% of you by that point." He was right about both predictions.

    Matfield a class above Bakkies (despite Bakkies' dirty cheating gaining him a lot of fear factor and advantages). Bakkies blows you a kiss plus a cowardly headbutt in the back of the head (while you're lying down) if you don't agree.
