Joost Van Der Westhuizen. One of the Greatest International/South African Rugby Number 9's!!!

My 1st memory of the Boks was the 1969-70 tour of Britain. That great back row, with Greyling and Ellis, and De Villiers at scrum half. Gareth scored a try in a draw between Wales + the Boks, at the start of Wales' best decade. Take a look at the 2 videos of Welsh Rugby in the 70s. The Boks and All Blacks have a mystical hold on the minds of us in Wales, but we obsess too much over beating England instead. I wish i could remember Frik Du Preez, a legend like Colin Meads for the All Blacks.

Gareth Edwards is considered by many to be one of the greatest players in the history of the game. My hero is still Joost, Thanks for the comment.

Brilliant comment, but that's why I said he is one of the best. Thank you for watching.

A very great player, devastating finisher at close range, pace and power, dynamic fierce competitor. I'd rate him all-time 2nd best scrum-half behind Gareth Edwards, but ahead of Catchpole and Loveridge among others. I'm sorry, but anyone who doesn't have Edwards at #1 simply doesn't know their rugby history, must be too young.

Bethulie, watter sagteware gebruik jy in die begin en einde van die video?
Wie sal ooit vergeet daardie tackle wat Joost op Lomu gemaak het.

Thanks for the cool comment, much appreciated. OP DIE BOKKE!!!

Its men like this that make me proud to be a south african and a proud rugby supporter. He inspires people to give there all and to give all you have to the thing you love most in life...

An amazing rugby player and an amazing person. Were proud of you Joost...Thank you

Province het briljant sonder hom gespeel daai jare en het te veel keur die Currie Cup gewen as hulle hom ook in die span gehad het so hulle baie meer gewen het. Moet die ander spane ook n kans gee. Dankie vir die kommente.

Maar net een probleem met Joost - hy moes maar vir Province gespeel het. Ag nou ja, rugby bly maar lekker maak nie saak wie jou span is,,,

Thanks for the comment, Fourie Du Preez would be a great candidate if he never had so many injuries, but I see a lot of Joost in him, that drive, fire and passion. Ricki Januarie and Ruan Pienaar can also be the best. Thanks.
