Who Is The Greatest Springbok Of All-Time?
Loading player...
Who is the greatest Springbok of all time? Is it the raw power of Eben Etzebeth, the tactical genius of Fourie du Preez, or the legendary pace of Danie Gerber?
In today’s episode of Front Row Rugby, I’m taking a seat at the virtual bar to settle the "GOAT" debate once and for all. From the amateur icons like Naas Botha and Danie Craven to the modern-day titans like Siya Kolisi and Pieter-Steph du Toit, we look at what actually makes a player "the best."
Inside this episode:
The Eben Factor: Can you argue with 141 caps and back-to-back World Cups?
The "Clean Shorts" Legend: The truth about Naas Botha and Buurman Van Zyl.
Professionalism vs. Heart: Why comparing Jesse Kriel to Danie Gerber is actually impossible.
The Dupont Myth: Why the "Greatest in the World" wouldn't last a second in a Bok scrum.
Rugby is a complex game of specialists. Comparing a prop to a flyhalf is like comparing a tractor to a Ferrari—they both win races, but in very different ways.
