From a kiwi who's watched test rugby since the mid-1960s -- Danie Gerber is the best running centre I've ever seen. His acceleration, power, and balance (especially for a big man) were exceptional. Would be one of the first picks for my World XV, if I was to select one.
One of my all time favourite players, to make the opposing team crash into each other while he dances round was exceptional. I wish we would have seen more
A centre who could run AROUND wingers!!! As well as do everything else expected of one of the greatest centres ever. The best centre in his day - difficult to judge against the modern era because of rush defence.
Goeie Dag Daar sal nie weer een soos die einste Danie Gerber wees nie. Hy was die beste senter wat die OP en die Springbokke opgelewer het. Groete Gerann
It's good to see the ball moving through the backline, quick hands. And players like Gerber running into the space and creating it. These days our balls stops spreading after 12.

Overrated. Poor defensive structures back then, and the teams he's playing against are really poor, South American Jaguars? Lol.. Too bad the sporting isolation during the apartheid era limited him playing against top sides like the All Blacks and Wallabies on a regular basis to truly test and measure how good he really was. Brian O'Driscoll is still the best outside centre ever, he's tried and tested in the international arena, and Tim Horan best inside centre ever.
O driscoll couldn't even lace danies boots ,,,,stop talking nonsense ,,,watched rugby for 50 years now ,, no one comes close to danie gerber ,,!o driscoll only rated in Northern hemisphere,,,
Danie Gerber is the Rolls Royce of centers.Simply the best I have ever seen.

david10101961 just watched this vid again, the acceleration, he was like a V100 Engine!!
That's some amount of respect
What would your 15 look like?

Now this is true rugby played by our Springboks of the past. Danie Gerber was my favourite
Wayde Edwards Danie Gerber is the greatest centre of all time, and I’m a die hard All Black fan🙏🏾
Greatest Centre ever and it's not even close... coming from an England fan
That guy was super fast and strong. I remember seeing him in my youth and thinking I have seen the best.
The best running centre of all time.
Simply the best.
What a player!
Goeie Dag

Gerann jy hoef nie n fokken brief te skryf nie, maar ja ek verstaan wat jy se hahaah
Dit is nie nodig om sulke taal te gebruik nie. Jy kon dit net in 'n meer ordentliker manier gestel het.
@@DefaultGatewayable stem, wat 'n loser, ERNSTIG!!
Best center I've seen should have been world famous
BOD.
the GOAT of any position, any nation...daylight second
Fantastic player.
It's good to see the ball moving through the backline, quick hands. And players like Gerber running into the space and creating it. These days our balls stops spreading after 12.
The test match on Newlands this weekend, Malcolm Marx and the boys with this backline, UNSTOPPABLE.
my favorite no 13 , fm France .....
A brilliant player who could teach the current generation a thing or two about playing RUNNING rugby.
Danie Gerber. jou doring! Ek het hierdie game op Loftus gesien! Goeie herinneringe.
Wow, Danie Gerber, Ray Mordt en Carl du Plesis in one team.
That was a superb team.
From UK Gerber best I've seen.boks would have won webb Ellis in 87 given the chance
Twin turbos on that guy ! Small one for the first five yards and the big one when he gets into his stride .
People should listen to the great All Black centre Frank Bunce beautiful comment regarding Danie Gerber
Pure Genius
The try he scored in 1992 against the All Blacks in the return to full international rugby after the end of sanctions wasn't bad either.
I think he thought it was touchies. lol. great player.
Beste senter van alle tye
100%

verkeerde era vir danie gewees
Theunis Louis Botha Stem 100% saam.
Gerber was one the best however MA'A Nonu is the best of all time the raw power the step and his kicking game.
In the professional era - yes! Nonu was good.
Gerber would have run rings around nonu...no comparison....gerber was way above them all ..
*Ja nee wat die was nog rugby van ouds die beste van die beste*
Score try. Run back to halfway.
Does Danie Gerber know this in not touch rugby.
The best nr 13 ever. Yes, he was the best, even better than Brian O'Driscoll believe me.

Sorry Mr DG apartheid to be blame
Dani Gerber is the greatest player of all time thats right. Better than Jonah Lomu, better than Thomas du toit and Elton Jantjies
Gerber hol Transvaaler om om dom
Defences back then were a joke and a lot of the tries he scored were against shit teams .
quiet, please, moron.
3 words, next time, only two.
Apartheid rugby!
and your point is?
I consider the Boers to be the greatest of all the white tribes.
