Love it when in the fist clip he stands up and towers over the guy and stares him down.

@@arnoredpath693 sure why not?
@Karl Gallagher and then that head rub/push xD
Yeah...he is a tall guy ,,towering” over a ,,shorter” guy. Shocker
Bakkies was one of the few players we as All Black fans feared. He was a monster of a man and deserved his Hard Man title. I'd also like to thank him for helping us win at least 2 games from his penalties 😂
Speak for yourself
And headbutting Jimmy Cowan 😂
Lol
@@steventheron1165 lol Cowan was a bit of a dickhead at times too🤣🤣
Yeah well the penalties cost us, oh well that the cost of doing business.
Botha and Matfield, what a pairing! The best ever in my opinion!
Yes sir, the Bok locks dominated
I'm a die hard AB supporter but man I loved it when Bakkies was on the field....always knew we'd be in for a physical engagement. Legend! 😃👌
As brutal as it is, this is one of the best highlight reels. The fact he smashed a few scrum halves (half back to you?) should earn him a small bit of forgiveness.
Bakkies and Victor what a grand pair. Legends.
Locks are like fast bowlers. At their best in a pair. Johnson and Grewcock?
@@agnostic47 True say! Victor needed a Bakkies for sure! Bekker was alright but Russouw was a mountain! (shout out BOD#13) How about Shaw and Johnson? or are my wires crossed?
The likes of which we'll probably never c again,absolute beasts these 2!💪💪💪💪👊👊🌶
I swear this guy and the Albatross ruled the skies for a whole decade... love from NZ!!!
I'm american with Aussie and British family so I understand rugby. I played American football my whole life. After watching some of these highlights over the past few days of badass rugby players, I'm astonished at how tough these guys are. I said this on another video but I always used to say that you can't play american football without pads and helmets because it's a different type of game. If the rugby players used to wear pads...I'd say the same thing. The other thing I've always loved about these sports is that it's worldly. Not just americans. You get to see the baddest Frenchmen against the baddest "Saffers." A term I just learned. You get to see the All Blacks against the Aussies or the English against the Irish. All these people have all different types of big men and athletes and both.
You mean you play american soccer! Football is football...
American Soccer is the Rugby for girls or those they want to be girly.
Both are jokes - only rugby is the real sport 💁🏼♂️
@@yackfou2412 I think you're confused and a little arrogant.
Awesome "level headed" view of the two, (-assumig you follow the NFL) I have been a big Football fan since the Tomlinson, Urlacher and Shockey days (NO not NY era, still get goosebumps when watching highlights from his rookie season with them though, that dude was HARD) and I love your take on rugby being wordly. I have at times wondered how Linebackers would do if they HAD TO use their arms. Mind you, they can obviously "wrap 'em up" and #52's are known for crunching spears (Willis and Lewis for example) but football is such a fast game that I don't think they'd have enough time to position themselves accordingly, that's why these H2H calls in the past 2 seasons or so have been absolute downers. True say on the padding, some people play well into the "club level" without pads whereas Football teams enforce the gear from the jump.In Football's defense, blocking is a facet that adds so much extra "spice" to the argument, I'll have to give that to them a point or two for that ;). Sure, you can say the same about rucking which takes place after pretty much every tackle and front rowers can injure their necks while scrumming, not taking anything away from that side either, but if rugby had special teams play or legal blocking, sjoe xD, I donno if pads would still be an option lol. I hope I haven't said a lot of "nothing" here, just got really excited by the great comment you shared. This is what makes organised sports so dope, the mutual appreciation! It's great to see! lekka, Play ball!
As an American screw football play rugby!!
@@tumelo4526 Great comment Mate! Appreciate what you're saying! Two different sports/games where it is really fun to speculate on how players would do switching it up and trying the other. There are always lots of Aussie punters coming over from "Aussie rules" football.
In Toulon, when the players passed in the audience before entering the stadium, we saw Bakkies at 100m! There was a crowd and this giant surpassed everyone by a head ... French Fan ✌
Absolute LEGEND! I had the privilege of seeing him in action allot and there's only one Bakies Botha. His an natural freak.
Nothing screams "Great Sportsman" like headbutting somebody on the ground, from behind.
You should watch what happened 10 seconds before that incident and tell me if that sportsmanship???
@Rock Star exactly
What happened then, saffers?
@@iamfromireland 10 seconds before that he was held back and interfered with to stop him for getting the ball... it was not noticed by the ref so Bakkies decided to give some pay back "You break the rules, I break your skull"
I appreciate the frustration and obviously it should have been a green penalty, but to do that is just overly dirty and brings the game into disrepute.
Respect from New Zealand. Most guys that are rough and tough on the field are always the most nicest and humble men away ftom it. What happens on the field stays on the field!👏👍🏻
This guy won every rugby trophy you can think of
Don't mess with this guy! Springboks fan in Vietnam 🇿🇦🇻🇳
I filmed a television commercial with him in Cape Town he is a polite, gentle giant with a mischievous glint in the eyes, just don’t put a rugby ball in front of him!
No ball here 1:55
@@Blainelyne just a big head... Yours
@@JonathanNichollsjonooh Jono, you go too far. HAHA
He's a thug who knows he can get away with it.
@@Blainelyne That's because Cowan had been holding Bakkies back in the chase to get the ball...Bakkies would probably have scored a try had it not been for Cowan holding him back...
Lol the samoan guy at the end the only dude he thought twice about fucking with
He didn't just want to win, he wanted to make it hurt.
Every Rugby UA-camr: I know! I will make a really well edited Rugby compilation video.
Then add the worst music I can possibly find to it....
I thought this suited it pretty well, what you want soft classical music for Bakkies?.

@@ukunboxings2242 I could imagine this video with the Ride of the Valkyries playing
That guy at 3:00 was one of few players that wasn't scared of beast Bakkies.
and the last rugby player in the end of the video seen arguing with him.
Andrew Sheridan who could bench press 35 stone wasn't being intimidated at 00:24.
Plus Sheridan was much bigger then Botha
It looks like as if he just wanted to moer everyone on the field. Lmao
An animal on the field, gentle giant off. Salute Sir.
Fun fact: Bakies Botha is the most decorated rugby player till this day... What a LEGEND he was and a key player for the Springboks
@995sean 2 tri-nations trophies, a world cup trophy, a British and Irish lions trophy, 3 Currie cups, 3 super rugby titles, a Vodacom cup title, a French top 14 title and 2 Heineken cup trophies

Do miss the days of having Bakkies Botha in the bok squad. Just imagine if we had Bakkies and Eben team up against the world. BAKKIES IS LEGEND!!
The start was so badass😂🔥
Hope you enjoyed the video man!
@@DieHardRugby well done
The opening with the Stransky commentary is so dramatic! Again another great video!
He is an absolute tank!
He is a real brute
Legend. Dirty yes but always seemed to be enjoying himself!
Botha for me was the black sheep of rugby ...he was ready to rock wherever whenever whoever...
Great video got goosebumps watching one of my favourite players in SA.💪💪
I am glad you enjoyed it!
@@DieHardRugby Pleasure bro keep up the good work!!!👍👍
Coming from an AB supporter this guy was awesome to watch. All the hard man qualities you'd expect from a South African forward. Except for a stupid headbutt on Jimmy Cowen he wasn't a dirty player and definitely no thug - just the enforcer intimidator type that you expect at the highest level. He used to get penalized for tackling too hard and even got sent off one time for that as well which was utter nonsense.
true springbok legend
He is a legend for sure
He is the mos decorated rugby player till this day
@@PepperSquad decorated for ... giving away penalties and costing points at crucial times due to brain explosions
@Casper 010 games moved on.. a relic of yesteryear. These days this short fused out of control loner with no regard for team discipline would only appeal to rock apes and would be coverted in zero trophies and simply banned.... but can't argue he was the enforcer and most teams had them
The opening was great! We miss Bakkies
I miss bakkies a lot haha
miss Victor more
@@stuarth43 miss them as a pair even more
A true legend! When this guy hit anyone they would stay down and stay quite and the only reason he retired is because they were starting to put HD cameras around the field !😂
RCT Fan never forget him ..
As Jerry Collins and Ayla 😘
Thanks BB ✌
mooiiiii Bakkies, get that first big tackle in early, even if its late.
Mr.Botha will make you crap what you didn't eat.He struck fear in the hearts of the toughest,bravest men.
Hes one of the last guys I would wanna run into lol
he's one of the first one I'd run into instead (and I'm only 5'10 x 198 lbs) just to see if I can get away.... problem is, he wouldn't even notice
Die hard rugby never disappoints 👌
Thank you so much xx hope you enjoyed the video!
Not once did Bakkies square up to the All Black lock His surname is Thirn. Bakkies always picked on smaller guys
Bull... In this video you can see him squaring up against Phil Vickery and Ryan Kankowski...he happily went after all opponents...just ask Jannie Du Plessis and Matt Stevens....
@@therealmrfishpaste he loved the number 9s. Eben went for perpetrator
@@nasserkarriem1309 The reason why Bakkies is so famous for squashing 9s is that he was fast enough to catch them...doesn't mean he didn't dish it out to the big boys too.
Just loved the ferocity of this guy. He was just merciless.
Love how the beat matched up to the headbutt perfectly
Do we know what the song is?
yeah awesome NOT 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Constantly “enforced” himself on players who were smaller than him.
Nelson Muntz of the rugby world.
That's how rugby works dick head.
As a kiwi I liked bakkies Botha and Victor Mattfield very strong combo.. only good locks from recent memory from the AB’s for me was Brad Thorn and Chris Jack or maybe Ali Williams
Brad Thorne was very special
I'm a kiwi but had much respect for Botha and Matfield in the S.A team Habana and de'villiers and Montgomery also they were awesome to watch
Just a big thug really , interesting in that last shot you could tell he didn't want to push it too far with the island guy 😯🤔
His style is to get under your skin and distract you from the game, he seems to do this very well as British and Irish Lions found out.
The game needs grubs governor
Afrikaaners >ilselanders
This is the greatest tribute pay him ever
Loved Bakkies, always gave the opposition a hard time. Traditional Springbok lock.
If you dont like Bakkies, you dont like rugby. Legend!
Read the description for the giveaway guys!!
Will be giving away a Tshirt
Wow which song is used in this video it's awesome
They don't have these types of enforcer creatures no more especially in the forwards. Botha was a one of a kind animal that you'd rarely get. A born beast both in real fouls, hustler, professional fouls that count, rugged, big, tall and strong.
I always wanted to see Brad Thorn and Bakkies Botha go at it but it never did happen. That would have been a titanic clash! They were too busy clobbering other players!
Used those huge flat handed slaps (pk) in the scrums to soften up the opposition
The was one of the best videos mahn keep making more mahn
Thank you so much!! The videos wont stop!!
The original SOB, but man he was damn effective on the field. LOVED him paired with Matfield for the Bokke!
Great video Bakkies is a legend 😁👍
Bakkies is the ultimate hard man the game has ever seen!
I hurts just watching him play, even when he is in offence.
I know that you But, the first enforcer? Pontypool Front row (only club front row to play for the Lions), The Moriarty family, Wade Dooley, Paul O'Connell, to name but a few that were harder & cleaner. Original enforcer, my ar5e
A joy to watch. A nightmare to play against
I am now and always will be verlief op Bakkies.
Quite a few late tackles in this guys best of collection, and a headbutt
And cheap shots. That kick ‘late tackle’ aimed straight for the guys knees. That how you end careers. It’s just enforcing the look of a dirty player
Coach please take me out of the game😂🤣
Beautiful piece of editing sir... great video!
Bakkies is the reason why the share price on wheels chairs have increased drastically
Love the part when he nearly flattened the Ref 😁
The man Etzebeth modeled on
The real deal Boer. Salute
A legend, but a dirty lock too.
Almost split Pat Lambie in half there.
Some men are just harder than others... Some are just made of Bricks!
Please do one on Pieter Steph du toit or Brodie retallick
Man Mountain, Hard as nails
He can shift for a big guy
It doesn't matter how big you are so long you have mucles in your legs and the genes your good to go
@@Pcmn-oi3er
Not true. As someone who's trained as a sprinter for years I can tell you it's a lot more specific and speed is DEFINITELY trainable. Genetics comes into play when you've trained just as hard and smart as other pros but need an edge. Anyone can squat heavy till they have tanks for legs, this doesn't mean you'll be fast. Speed is about being able to apply force to the ground (power) within a very short time frame (rate of impulse). Keyword being short time frame.
Lifting heavy weights improves force production but decreases rate of impulse thus making you slower. Activities like reactive plyo and sprinting itself improve the rate of impulse, so you need a correct balance of both activities to become faster.
There's also the extremely important aspect of biomechanics (are your muscles in balance to the point that your body is moving as efficiently as it can).
Bakkies is faster than most guys his size because he trains properly.
That's what illegal substances will do.
@@susannamarker2582 someone's bitter that their team didn't win the world cup. Besides bakkies is a mischievous guy he would've wanted to take down guys with his own skill and laugh about it.
@@acelovesdiyschristopher7023 No, bitterness. He was a thug.
If bakkies played today he wouldn't make it through 80min without a red card
Wade Dooley - there was never a man more inclined to violence on the rugby pitch.
He doesnt even hold back against his fellow countrymen 😂
0:34, surprised he didn't leave a damn crater in the field after that slam.
A phenomenal player. What a number 8 he would have made. His line speed was amazing. Not the Original Enforcer.....a certain Irish Lions skipper was truly that. Cant believe any All Blacks would have been frightened of a thing ......
1st clip explains exactly how it feels when you are not nice to a second row...
1:00 those guys in the back are like “you’re on your own”
Yet a little fly half had an entire nation crying with one tackle!
Everyone probably forgot about Uli Smit. He was a legend
He didn't want to try the islander at the end though lol
nah...he would've been fine
He pushed a few islanders out the way in his day
I can just imagine the fight that would have ensued had he tried that reverse headbutt on Collins or Chabal....
Or Eben Etzebeth.
He would have lasted about 2 seconds against some one like Frank Oliver or Colin Meads, try playing most of a game with a broken arm.
@Adam TresorioCowboy Shaw! Now there was a bloke I really wouldn’t like to get on the wrong side of a ruck with 😣
What. A. Legend💪
The sliding headbutt is genius 🤣🤣
Nothing like him... A lock at it's best...
I used to hate him. But my respect has grown for him over the years.
I looove your videos!! I have entered the comp!!
Great, I have seen your entry!
Looking back, I actually think Mark Andrews deserves the title. Bakkies is my favourite Bok of all time.
Mark Andrews was the cleaner version of Bakkies
Geez, forgot how fast he was
Good to see this kind of thuggish behavior slowly disappear from the game.
This man is a true Legend of the game, Keep your uninformed opinion to yourself.
@@gideonludik2062 hardly uninformed. Con Job has eyes like the rest of us. Good player but gave away too many stupid penalties
This is what separated the men from the little boys. You must be a whimper.
@@indigosoulwarrior4969 hahaaa.. no im just not a cheap dog shot prick like you
@@gideonludik2062 he was thug and a filthy player, good riddance to him.
One of world rugby's finest locks, one of world rugby's grubbiest players!
The videos show sometimes he crossed the lines, right. But that's not unusual : a lot of players loose the temper occasionally.
And sometimes that also may be directed agression: provoke your opponent into a mistake.
May be a part of an advanced set of strategy.
And after all results and stats speak for themselves. I think he must have been a key asset for the Springboks for a long time.
i do not care how many Coconuts he rolled cos Coconuts always try the flatten and hurt
Botha never bullied any other front rowers, he always got fucking SMASHSD the moment someone stepped up that had any form of size.
He’d be yellow and red carded these days
Just like he should have been then.
He was fam
@@acelovesdiyschristopher7023 No, he's just a thug who's careful not to show it when off the pitch.
@@susannamarker2582 he's actually a pretty solid dude off the field. Slightly intimidating even if u don't know who he is bit cool guy still. Ur just bitter about the headbutt incident which is his only no no act besides the face shove which depending on who u ask is not that bad but that's a different debate entirely. He owns up to the headbutt and how bad it was to do it.
Enjoyed that. A hard man for sure, but not the "original " enforcer. I'd give that to Colin Meades, followed by Willie-John McBride.
The guy is the Devil on the Pitch
Never got involved in one decent punchup in his entire career on a Rugby field. All pushing, pulling and dragging.
Because even by his day: punches = red cards
Even the ref tried to stop him 😂
