As a Kiwi and All Blacks fan BiG Bakkies is a true Giant of the game. Dirty or hard he had a huge physical presence on the field. I'm a BIG fan of Bakkies but now I'm a fan of Etzebeth. Saying all that All Blacks still da best lol
What a privilege to have experienced the era of Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield. Two giants of South African rugby, that probably will never be rivaled again. That goes for South African and world rugby. Having been a Blue Bull supporter made it a huge bonus. Thank you both for making us proud South African supporters.
So many salty people commenting on this - regardless of how much he's hurt your feelings, every single successful team has a player that operates on a blurred line of clean/dirty. Its always been hilarious to me that everyone will shine McCaw's knob yet take a massive issue with Bakkies. Look a little past those tremendous blinders you've got on and appreciate a stalwart of the game. He's got a world cup, several super rugby titles, Heineken/Euro cup titles, and Currie Cup all under his belt. Very few players have or will ever achieve what he did.
These guy musn't be lost to South Africa,well spoken ,in fact eloquent and a good head on that shoulder .l am a Zimbabwean black man but l acknowledge excellence when l see it and in a perfect world these type of men must be leaders in shaping tomorrow for all South Africans.
Bakkies played a hard game of rugby and rough up the opposition but he's one of the great locks in rugby. Mobile, hard hitting great in the tight play and line outs. Cheers to you Bakkies I wish you were still playing.
Bakkies is a one in a million, Obviously there was some supporters choosing their other provincial team locks above Bakkies but the moment he went on to the field for the Springboks.... everybody loved him!!! Bakkies jy is n legend boeta! P.s Bakkies isn't compared to other locks, he is compared to guy's like Sebastien Chabal a Eightman... Quite a Machine on the field.
Meeean Azz New Zealand has produced some phenomenal locks and lock combos, but I don’t think there was ever a more complete duo than Bakkies and Victor... They’ll go down as the best lock combo in the history of the game and rightly so. That’s taking nothing away from the others, especially the kiwi lot, and those two pommies, but anyone saying anything else, is just kidding themselves. Much love from a BOK fan!
I'm so glad hes not playing anymore. Dude use to scare the hell out of what he might do to my a.b's. Lol. But that's a credit to him and how played a real man's game
Nominee for SA player of the year in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

yoe91 What he handed out he took as well, that's why he is highly respected by his past opponents, have heard a few interviews where greats have said that Bakkies has taken a lot of cheap shots in the rucks and mauls and he has never complained.
Mr Botha, your presence will be sorely missed and I have no doubt that your contributions to International Rugby and especially the Springboks is very much appreciated by the rugby fraternity (at least by those who can rub more than 2 braincells together). We all wish you the best of luck for the future. Bakkies for President!!!!
Botha was a talented athlete and an undisciplined thug, a violent relic of a bygone era, a liability and a totally cynical hooligan. Rugby is better without this arrogant arsehole.
Bakkies frequently displayed the he had less than 2 brain cells to rub together. Truly great athletes do not resort to violence. Nor do they need to play outwith the rule book. Botha had the talent to be great and memorable. His lack of inhibition relegates him to the ranks of forgettable and ordinary, more liability, less an asset. Only a Jaapie bigot would think otherwise. So good that South African rugby has finally been dragged into the modern era. RIP thugs like Botha
You say "Bakkies frequently displayed the he had less than 2 brain cells to rub together". Yet those 2 brain cells were enough to make him the best in the world. What does that say about the opposition? The more you belittle Bakkies the more you do the same to every player who played against him. Because he was better than any of them. Bakkies will be remembered as a legend of the game for decades after you have passed away. You say "Only a Jaapie bigot would think otherwise." Is that why the midi Olympique in France voted Botha as the best no4 lock to EVER play the game? This was voted for by coaches and sports writers, NOT even from his home country, who have followed the game for decades. What are your credentials? You say " So good that South African rugby has finally been dragged into the modern era". Here are the results since Botha retired. ZERO wins over the All Blacks. First lost to Argentina(home and away), first lost to Japan, first lost to Ireland at home and first lost to Italy. WELL DONE. South Africa has truly moved forward since Botha retired. You just sound like a bitter man who was fed up every time your team lost to Bakkies. And that had to be a lot of times.
A lot of players send up a little prayer as they run onto the field to ask for God's blessing and protection in the game. But when Bakkies does it, according to legend, it's to ask forgiveness for the things he's about to do.
I’ve read the comments on this thread and it brings a sadness to a rugby hart. There’s been so many awesome Nr. 4’s in days gone by. Meads, Eales, Andrews, Johnson Botha... Those were the days when a game was lost when a 4 did not bring absolute menace to a game. The days when a head would pop out of a scrum because a 4 decided to teach U something and put his stamp on things. Before the new refereeing systems got in place where blokes gets sent off for clearing a ruck there were scope for hard bastards to ply their trade. It was awesome to watch the brutality of it just so you see the bloke on the receiving end stand up and make a mental note to pay back the bugger who did it and then some.. Bring the modern Meads into the game in the shape of Retallick and his challengers like Etzebeth and it brings a further sadness to realise that these guys can no longer be their brutal physical selves. The game has made way for players like Itoje who is brilliant in intelligent rugby in their own way in a politically correct liberally controlled “equality” environment which creates such an element of entitlement in their personalities that the cannot even fathom the acceptance of a loss and refuse to put a medal around their shoulders. and It all starts and comes down to clowns who proclaims Bakkies as a Thug rather than celebrate his achievements and by default the team members around him that shared those achievements. Rettalick and Etzebeth were below par this 2019 world cup simply because they are no longer allowed to play the game they way their idols growing up did. Someone calling a rugby player a “thug” is a soccer hooligan that crossed codes and has no appreciation of Rugby history. In the days where you were stretchered off because of a hit and no one gave yellow and red cards it was accepted that Rugby is a game of brutal and physical engagement and those players being stretchered off was hailed as hero’s. Bakkies and Thorn were perhaps the last exponents of the “brutal” game of Rugby where things were still accepted to be “part” of playing the game and the reason they got away with a lot of what is considered unethical in the modern game. As with all other things in life, Rugby also evolves and with it the players need to do so as well. To call Bakkies or Thorn “Thug” is just wrong. They played the game the way the Rugby laws of their generation allowed. If Senna was racing today he definitely wouldn’t have hit the wall that killed him... Rugby is no different. If Sinckler didn’t get knocked out by Itoje?? That would probably have been a totally different game... The point is.. In Bakkies’s time the term “thug” was reserved to soccer hooligans that cleared a pub after the game. In rugby he was just a badass bloke in the mould of the Meads, Johnson’s of this world. Contemplating who was the best is equally as futile because of the difference in the laws between the time Meads and Bakkies played since the rules changed a hundred different ways till Sunday between the the generations when they lit up the brutality columns.. Personally I miss the days when brutal Nr 4’s dictated status in a game but at the same time I’m also bought on the idea that Nr. 4 has a wider contribution to the game apart from being the absolute bastard...
Stephen, no it doesnt. That was some scumbag crap. But aside from his dirty stuff, he was an extremely talented player and likely the best of his time.

+1unsung You don't know the first thing about rugby do you? How many games were sacrificed? ZERO. Bakkies got ZERO red cards in his career and only 4 yellows. That means that he missed 40 min of rugby in his entire career. So please explain how that is costing his team? And how many points did he score? Well quite a lot. He scored 7 tries in his test career. 35 tries in all the rugby he played. That is more tries that Brad thorn, martin johnson, john Eals and pretty much any other lock in world rugby you can think of. You say "South Africa now play the expansive, rugged game that they are so capable of, without moronic thugs like Botha" Yes, you can see that the boks are doing a lot better without Bakkies. 50% wins for 2015, lost to Japan and Arg. Well done. Before you try and make a point get you facts straight. Have a nice day.
Why would they complain? He played in winning teams and Bakkies was one of the main reasons they were winning. The all blacks would have loved to have Bakkies on their side..
+JoziGirl I disagree with you. Caveman was one of the hardest men to play the game, but was a average rugby player. That is why in his entire rugby career he only won 2 trophies. Not only that but a few teams trough out the years had his number, especially the Irish. And that is what made Bakkies a legend of the game. He was as hard as they get and one hell of a rugby player.
Bakkies was a very good rugby player. However he always chose the small players to bully. He is not a Moaner van Heerden who would take on the opposition hard men. Bakkies got cheap shots in.
Which South African accent? There are several. And you realize that most Springboks are Afrikaaners. So English is not their first language. And we do not need to speak in an accent that is comfortable for you. Its our damn accent, if you cannot understand it then tough shit. Im sure I would not understand yours
As an AB's supporter, we always regarded Matfield at no.5 as a much greater threat. There were also certainly better no. 4's out there in this era. Sharpe, Johnston to name a couple. Botha was ok, but didn't have great skills.....

Bring the modern Meads into the game in the shape of Retallick and his challengers like Etzebeth and it brings a further sadness to realise that these guys can no longer be their brutal physical selves.
The game has made way for players like Itoje who is brilliant in intelligent rugby in their own way in a politically correct liberally controlled “equality” environment which creates such an element of entitlement in their personalities that the cannot even fathom the acceptance of a loss and refuse to put a medal around their shoulders.
and It all starts and comes down to clowns who proclaims Bakkies as a Thug rather than celebrate his achievements and by default the team members around him that shared those achievements.

+JoziGirl I disagree with you. Caveman was one of the hardest men to play the game, but was a average rugby player. That is why in his entire rugby career he only won 2 trophies. Not only that but a few teams trough out the years had his number, especially the Irish.
And that is what made Bakkies a legend of the game. He was as hard as they get and one hell of a rugby player.
Bakkies Botha the Inforcer will have to agree to disagree.
Who are they?
Search them up 😂
lxrance If i need to do a search they can't any good..
He seems like an intimidating specimen, that’s for sure.
And as far as the dirty stuff, if you’re not cheating, you’re not trying.
Hy is n beast
He was more dirty then hard. But I liked him a little, tho I hate to admit it. NZ All Blacks all the way.
haha
Bakkies was a very good rugby player. However he always chose the small players to bully. He is not a Moaner van Heerden who would take on the opposition hard men. Bakkies got cheap shots in.
お願いやから日本語字幕をつけてほしい。
方法がわからない、ごめんなさい
les joueurs et les Toulonnais ne vous oublieront jamais Bakkies,ainsi que tous les amoureux du Rugby,Monsieur Botha
Merci pour votre commentaire. Les Bakkies adoraient jouer pour Toulon. Ses 4 meilleures années.
Had a hard head
Russia needs a team
They do have a team bru
Ask some South African plyers to come and help Russia to build a great team
He was all shit. Always playing dirty. I don't know how they can glorify him like this.
Only shit here is your knowledge of the game.
I don't understand the dirty
a true dirty player from a world i hope we left behind
+SistorCarrera Now that McCaw is gone, you might get your wish.
@ zed1207.....LMFAO
Why south african accent is hard to understand??
Which South African accent? There are several. And you realize that most Springboks are Afrikaaners. So English is not their first language. And we do not need to speak in an accent that is comfortable for you. Its our damn accent, if you cannot understand it then tough shit. Im sure I would not understand yours
@@Sabundy I understand them easy. I'm impressed tjey can cut in and out of Afrikaans and English.
@@realMaverickBuckley most South Africans are bilingual, and many are trilingual
What is a S A accent. There are more than a dozen accent in S A.
It's no that Hodd to understand...
As an AB's supporter, we always regarded Matfield at no.5 as a much greater threat. There were also certainly better no. 4's out there in this era. Sharpe, Johnston to name a couple. Botha was ok, but didn't have great skills.....
You lost all credibility when you mentioned sharp as a better 4.
But thanks for your comment.
@@bakkiesbothatheenforcer1638 and thanks for your opinion.
@@MrT67 no problem
ummmm...... I was being sarcastic.......
@@bakkiesbothatheenforcer1638 Fuck you right on there bro! Sharpe? Lol he doesn't speak for *all Kiwi's!*
Most of us know Victor & Bakkis complimented each other and was a *bad azz combo!* From 🇳🇿👍
Is this a joke channel?! Botha was distinctly average.
If Botha was average then the rest of the rugby world must have been poor.
Voetsek
@@bakkiesbothatheenforcer1638 Your logic doesn’t follow at all. Just because one player was average, it means half will be better and half will be worse. He played with a great lock, but he was not one.
@@ainsleyspongebob2877 I think your keyboard is broken.
2:52 anyone translate please?
I like living on the edge
@@bakkiesbothatheenforcer1638 thanks mate
I cant understand a word some of these guys say
Well.... You do realize that English is not their first language?
Grow up with an afrikaaner grandma and then it will be easier
Bakkies was a Hodd Bostid who played rugby for Saffafreeka!
they ddnt call him BAKKies 4 nothing
Absolutely brother 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He is a real south African 1
Etzebeth is clearly a better player than Bakkies. More strong, more clean.
Based on what? Stronger? You don't know what you are talking about but thank you for your comment.
Enforcer against what then??
Whe?
A disgrace.
Thanks for your comment, even the unknowledgeable is welcome here.
