    This video just shows that big guys like Brodie are actually gentle giants and comes across very humble with huge respect for his opponents, that's the respect between the Springboks and the All Black's right there, great interviewer is Big Jim, my favorite currently!!!

    Brodi is a great player. As a South African, I love the respect the 2 teams have for each other. I have never heard or seen players of this two teams speak evil of each other. This is always the best games to watch. All Blacks has never disappointed with their great skills and ball handling. They were the best of the best for many recent years. Springboks had to play catch-up. Now the 2 teams
    are so even, it is impossible to chose a winner until the game is over. Respect is the key word here !!!!!!

    It's funny, when I watch Brodie playing against the Springboks he always looks so tough, so hardcore. And I often have to say to myself, this is an okey who thinks, feels and can talk but oddly enough this is the first time I have seen and heard him talking. On the pitch, I never see him speaking. He seems like Frans Malherbe in that regard. Quietly does his job to the best of his ability.
