    Player that stuck in my mind is Heinrich Brussow. I remember watching the Lions series in 2009 and against Cheetas they had success, however, the Heinrich did a havoc in the ruck. With his "Small size" he managed to put his hand up for the Springboks. Ultimately, he played a crucial role in that series win. Tremendous player, much better than Neil Back in my opinion. Greetings from Serbia, from a huge Springbok supporter.

    Can you just imagine the squad you could put together if the cheetahs were not constantly cannibalized by the bigger unions going back as far back as I can remember?
    The way they have been treated lately by SA rugby, has been nothing but a shambles to be honest. Still, one hell of a team if there is not even a place for Erasmus, but Id have put Brussow above him as well, even though it would be one hell of a tough call. I know there were some injuries over the years that hurt his career, but can you imagine what a Bok career he would have had if we did not put as much stock in size as we do for the loose trio?

    Some legends on this team. Robert Ebersohn was so underated and deserved a Springbok cap, but just played in the wrong time with JDV and J.Fourie. One can also add Hennie Daniller to this list. It's also a pity Phillip Burger didn't play a lot of Super Rugby for the Cheetahs, that guy was a Currie Cup legend!.
    Great Video!

    Tough to leave Rassie Erasmus out of that side. No doubt on the bench
    That Os / Naka try is one of the greatest fat man tries ever.

    Willem de waal, Jannie de beer or jacques louis Potgieter at fly half.
    Fabien juries, Jongi Nokwe or Sergeal petersen at wing.
    And coaches - Naka Drotski and Russia Erasmus, Maybe Os as forward coach.
