Love this! My all time post WW2 Springbok team would be Os du Randt, John Smit, Frans Malherbe, Eben Etzebeth, Victor Matfield, Schalk Burger, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Hennie Muller, Joost van der Westhuizen, Naas Botha, Bryan Habana, Damien de Allende, Danie Gerber, Cheslin Kolbe, Percy Montgomery, Bismarck du Plessis, the Beast, Frik du Preez, Morne du Plessis, Fourie du Preez, Lukanyo Am, Andre Joubert. These are obviously based on how good they were in their era, for example a player like Hennie Muller would never make the current Springbok team as a number 8 being under 90kg, however I'd consider him the only Springbok in the all time rugby top 10 players.
Here is my team (for what it’s worth 😊). Os du Randt, Uli Schmidt, Hannes Marais, Eben Etzebeth, Frik du Preez, Rueben Kruger, Martin Pelser, Siya Kolisi (c), Joost VD Westhuizen, Errol Tobias, Jean De Villiers, Danie Gerber, Bryan Habana, Ray Mordt, Gerry Brand. I picked Errol because I thought he was great at getting a backline going.
@@MrLinwood68 Oh great team! I forgot about Hannes Marais, and great pick with Tobias, much better attacking fly half than Botha. I was very close to putting Uli and Rueben on my bench. Love the picks of Gerrie Brand and Ray Mordt as well :) And you're right, du Preez really should start ahead of Matfield in the second row,
That is a whole different show all by itself, picking a Bok team from the amateur and professional eras. Perhaps a good idea would be to pick an amateur side and a pro side and matching them up. Love your team, agree on Naas, Gerber and Hennie Muller. If we are going old school, I would throw Ray Mordt and H.O. De Villiers into the mix
First of all wonderful selections (might argue the bench selections, think Kitschoff went overlooked). I think Matfield and Bismarck revolutionized their respective positions for the professional era; the responsibility locks carry at line outs, the work and research they have to do and then hookers who have become loose forwards competing at breakdowns while still scrummaging and throwing line outs. I'll also add that I have a special place for Willie le Roux, I think his positional awareness is as good as Habana and Pollard and his playmaking is as good as Fourie du Preez.
Some great selections here, challenge anybody to the post-world war 2 era to 1996 to choose a team against mine, likes of HO De Villiers, Windhond, Okey Giffin, Mannetjies Roux, Naas, Danie, Carel, Mordt, Morne, Klippies, Stephen Fry, Frik, Gainsford, Hopwood, and then will pit them against our professional team post 1995 for a win. Full team to come. Can't argue against the post 1995 pro teams chosen, except for Skinstadt, he should be in the mix if he did not get injured in that car accident, he would have been a rugby legend.
Select a pre-pro era side please. I am from the 60's. Even as a life long Irish supporter my favourite player of All time is Danie Gerber. My favourite winger is Ray Mordt. People harp on about Lomu. Yes he was huge, yes he was a battering ram on attack, but he was crap in defence. Where-as Ray was brutally efficient in ALL departments. In my opinion Ray could have stuck Lomu on his arse fer the craic of it. Jeez, Mike West was a very hard man indeed: a former Rhodie SAS operator, but in an interview Mike said that he would not want to take on Ray Mordt in a fist fight. Mike said Ray was an extremely fit, brutally powerful and very hard man. Mike said also that Ray was a lovely man, as was the Mordt family. God bless to yous all☘
I agree. Ray Mordt, Rob Louw, Wynand Claasen, Okkie Oosthuizen, Hennie Bekker, Carel and Willie and other fine Boks of the time.........ah man, these men were feared.
Great idea to split the team in two periods, post WW2 and the professional era, otherwise it gets too confusing. We cannot go pre-world war 2, no coverage, but don't forget this was when Bok rugby was at its peak, we never lost a series until 1956 home or away!!!! (lost to AB's away in 1956), four grand slams of Europe, never to BI Lions (only between 1892 and 1896 before the Boer War which we will leave out), so for 56 years we were the undisputed champions of the world, nobody could touch us, our winning record pre 1956 against the all blacks was over 75%, so that was our golden era, we were the team of the world, not like now, we its always between the AB's and us. Just remember these players pre world war 2 - Boy Louw, (1910 - ), Japie Krige, Bob Loubser, Fairy Heatlie, Gerhard Morkel, PK Le Roux, Stegman, Danie Craven (still a world record for four positions?), Killer White, Paul Roos, PK Albertyn, Bennie Osler, Kiewit, - these were the real boys where the boks dominated the world - must have been over 80% winning rate for over half a century. That is proper rugby history
A man who knows his Springbok history... You are right Francois, for me there are 3 distinct periods on Springbok history. The early years (1889 - 1938), the Post WW2 or what I commonly refer to as the amateur era (1949 - 1995) and then the professional era (1995 onwards). Some great names you mentioned here. Don't forget the likes of Billy Millar, Boy Morkel, Philip Nel, Ryk van Schoor, Tjol Lategan Hennie Muller, Chris Koch, Piet du Toit, Jan Lots, Daan Retief, Gerry Brand and many many other. I think we need to start telling these players' stories on this channel...
AB's team to take on this Springbok side: 1) Woodcock 2) Fitzpatrick 3) Hayman 4) Thorn 5) Retallick 6) Collins 7) MacCaw 8) Brooke 9) Smith 10).Carter 12) Umaga 13).Smith 14) Wilson 11) Lomu 15) Cullen Bench: Forwards: Meeuws, Mealamu, Brown Whitelock,.Jones (Michael) Backs: Marshall, Merhtens, Williams (SBW)
Two great teams can't fault either which is normally easy to do. I think Skinstad would have been one of the greatest ever if he didn't mess his knee up in his car accident. Was never the same after that.
Excellent teams selected. Andre Joubert at 15? Danie Gerber at 13? Interesting, more players of the 2009 legendary bok team than the current great bok team in starting 15, not much debate there. Big difference will be the benches, I agree more with the bench on the left side. Will add Morne or Frans Steyn if we go 6/2 bench, because we need two great kickers, not just one, maybe go 5/3 bench to allow also for DW? Problem is, many fans compare earlier great players when they were older and not peaking anymore, with current players that are now peaking, and it is only the latter players they regularly see playing, for obvious reasons. Good example is Bismarck v Marx. Both legends of our game, but Bismarck at his peak was the all time great, maybe top 3 ever list of hookers.
I totally agree Eric, although South Africans are passionate rugby fans, folks quickly forget players and how good they were. I agree on Bismarck, he is an all time great. On Danie Gerber - he will be the first name on my Springbok team of we selected players from the amateur era, but as I mentioned in the video, we didn't think it is fair to compare amateurs vs professionals, although I can only imagine what Gerber would have done in a professional setup. He is still, in my opinion, the greatest Springbok ever

Sorry guys, your selection criteria is wrong. It should be who is the best rugby player in their position and not how many WC or trophies etc they've won. I.e. who was the best player at Full back, right wing etc. Also There are so many you HAVE to pick 2 players in each position.

That is definitely on our to do list! Ray Mordt is arguably the greatest right wing that ever played for the Springboks
We just had so many Super Springboks. Any of the guys mentioned in your selection or the comments below can make a World XV. Our blood is GREEN!
Select a pre 1996 best bok team ever also = before professionalism. The likes of Naas, Carel, Ruben, Gerber, Joost, etc.
