Boks honoured by local legend

[Sneeky]

Really nice touch by PDV.
Venter played out of his skin every game and, I think, epitomizes exactly what a Springbok should be.
Something the new blood can really aspire to.

Springbok great Andre Venter will present the jerseys to the Springbok match 22 for Saturday's Test against Wales at Vodacom Park in Bloemfontein.

Looking forward to the team announcement, surely some surprises in store for us but best of luck to them all. I really hope they do well.

Most committed Bok ever with an unbelievable work rate.

I hear he's paralysed from the waist down. Ouch!

He was a great player yes ... quiet but effective in the back row

There is a Springbok thread for everything Bok related ......... keep it all central like baby

+1 But man he was a legend, still is imo because he doesnt sit on a heap and cry about his condition.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

For sure .... I will never take away that fact ...... a true hero

One of my favourite players. Showed phenominal commitment to the Bok jersey. He was also officially the fittest player in the Bok squad at the time.

hmm, to be honest, and no disrespect intended, to discuss the entire goings on in Springbok rugby in one thread does not seem practical at all.
It will be nigh impossible to follow, let alone focus on a specific subject/event/happening at the time, it will be an overlapping nightmare.
There is also sevens and the developing boks, the junior teams, etc.

Perhaps the BOKS deserve their own subforum, vote?
