Underrated video. A lot of thought went into this. The lyrics match up to the action so well. "Slot machine" while he's slotting a goal. "Long", "turn", "on and on" while he's doing exactly that. A great video for a great player.
This man does not get enough credit.. He is a big game player for club and country. Yes, he is erratic but the man tacles hard, passes well and kicks so well.
The kid is talented. he makes mistakes at times and he may not have any natural gile or finesse but what he lacks in ability he makes up for in heart. Steyn is a powerful runner, he tackles like a man possessed. Plus he is always a threat with ball in hand. The man keeps going to the end. HE IS A BOK LEGEND FOR THAT ALONE. Youngest world cup winner in the history, what a step up which he handled like a man..
@lennard what would be funny is if he would take it one step further and make his hair into dread locks. Problem with him in SA, we have so much talent that they dont know what position to play him in. I think fullback because of his HUGE boot but he can play anywhere in the backline like Ruan Pienaar.
Man, the Springbok team is poorer because Francois Steyn is not in it. Strong in defense and unpredictable in attack. Great collection of his skills, Combatbok.
@JeromeMaree Yip, dit gebeur as politiek rugby beheer. Ons is die enigste land met hierdie probleem. If politic was not running rugby then Jake white would have been the coach still and we would have been stronger than EVER.
aidan He will be in charge of all SA rugby teams. However, as far as I understand the national side will not have a head coach, Rassie will personally take charge and will be responsible for team selection, and game plan. Assistants will include Jacques Nienaber (defence), Pieter de Villiers (scrum), Mzwandile Stick (attack), Deon David’s (forwards), and Aled Walters (conditioning). As far as Frans Steyn is concerned, I heard reports that Rassie is keen to get him and Vermeulen involved.
That was one amazing vid! hats off to you, CombatBok...As for Steyn..what an amazing player. Too bad he made terrible decisions and is now pretty much useless. I was really looking forward to seeing his career boom like good old Percy, but no, Steyn wants to go and play easy rugby in the Northern Hemisphere. Im sure the bucks are good, but talk about shooting your career in the head! RIP Steyn.
@isitonthereenough for some reason I dont like williams, just dont think he is that skilled, you know wingers in this age need to be well rounded, not only be good attackers, but good defenders aswell, and really need to be able to get into mauls when the forwards arent there, seems most wingers around the world have adaptd to this style, yet he hasnt, he is still a great attacker with an insane step, but steping wise i would put my money on Robinson, boat insanely great players though.
When its all said and done, Francois Steyn will be remembered as the one of the great rugby players of all time.

2021 Steyn for SA still got it, a true legend.

Should update this vid.... Dude's still a beast.
Great video...Frans Steyn is the man
the best tribute ever
Great tribute! (y) Good memories :)
What would england give to have this guy standing next to johnny. South africa have such a wealth of talent at the moment.
One of the greatest Springboks
Another classic! Thanks man
verry nice video + nice player to
Love Francois , hope he comes back to SA soon can't wait for the world cup they need to start him at fullback all the time. He deserves it!!!!
Peter de Villiers please put Francois Steyn in the upcoming tri nations. He is the best fullback we have. Come on Sa managers put him on. PLEASE
The song is from Cat Stevens, circa early 70's. The title is "Where Do The Children Play." It complements the video nicely.
Go Frans!
he's a tall guy, but watch when he runs how he lowers his centre of gravity making it harder to stop the big man.
when he dubted against ireland i said his name and look is legend like like 90's greats man this guys genius
such a useful player, strong in contact, got pace and has a great boot , he can probably kick a dropgoal from his own 22
@bsd45 Hi ... I believe he is considered for the RWC 2011. Apparently he and the coach are discussing his future as a bok player.
Unbelieveable talent - particularly at kicking a rugby ball
great video
One of my favourite full backs
Great video.

How does he lack in ability
Won a World Cup and tri nations by the time he was 22
@@thomaswait4895I wrote this 14 years ago. He was wild then. Used to take chances most wouldn’t.
Bring him back!!
Steyn is really good on the attack. He should run with the ball more. Kid has crazy talent.
Songs - Cat Stevens - Why do the Children play
When Steyn is playing, the opposing team can't make a mistake pretty much anywhere on the field cause Steyn WILL slot it over :D
The Springboks are amazing!!!!!!! WTF!!!!
@Mr1in1000000 I here Pieter de villiers had a fallout with him so dont know if he will play for springboks anymore. He is the best fullback SA have.
LEGEND
I LOVE CAT STEVENS!!! GOOD VIDEO!!! GO STEYNN, TELL ME WHERE DO THE CHILDREN PLAY??
super joueur!!!!
love him
did he get tackled by his hair at 40 secs? :P
this kid has a bright future ahead of him.the next Montgomery maybe
Class
Definitly improved!!

'Where do the children play' - by Cat Stevens who is now Yusuf Islam.
shit i miss this guy. Hopefully he's back in SA at the end of the EU season...in prep for the WC 2011 in NZ
Haven't seen him with the springboks for long. Why? What happened to him?
whats the name of the song?
he's gotten huge. I read he's nearing 110kg, I mean he's fairly tall but fuckin hell.
i hope he comes back to SA
what is the name of this song? )))
Man, the Springbok team is poorer because Francois Steyn is not in it. Strong in defense and unpredictable in attack.
Great collection of his skills, Combatbok.
This is by Sergey B.
Nice vid bud
great kicker
2.00- Carrying...at pace...with three Kiwi's hanging on. Enough said!
My favourite player. Pity montpelier use him at. 10 12 13 and 15 but Boks cant use him anywhere. Suprised
He's like Samson from the Bible. Long hair = Great Rugby. Short hair = Not so good Rugby. Still like him nonetheless.
@shad0w7 I saw him once catch Habana after Habana intercepted the ball against Natal.
he got eaten by a great white shark...very unfortunate, the Rugby world has been mourning ever since...very unfortunate.
@tresconcinco Cat stevens - where do the children play
Wat se kak musiek is hierdie?

Will be back soon in the #12 for the Boks under Rassie.
Johannes Fourie how do you know? Isn’t Rassie just the manager for all sports, he’s not the coach is he?
aidan
