  1. Him and Victor Matfield use to piss me off πŸ˜…πŸ˜… awesome footy players backed up by Monte and Brian outstanding team to watch

  2. I’m a South African but bakkies was just criminal in so many ways. Geeeeez. It’s funny now but if I were to play against him I would hate him

  3. We need more personalities like Bakkies Botha in rugby. The Northern Hemisphere teams are trying to make everyone else sterile and boring, so they discourage any behavior that's not up to their standards. Here in SA, rugby is a violent, tough sport. Its not a sport that prides itself on being "inclusive" like they say in Wales/England/Ireland. Courtney Lawes also spoke about this on the Pod with Jim Hamilton and Andy Goode.

  4. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚oh how we miss Bakkies Botha πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦

  5. We need more "Bakkie Botha,s" & Richard Low,s in the game…..it's too fkn tame now, everyone's playing on training wheels in case they fall over n hurt demselves fkn poofters….. πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸ‘Š

  6. When I was at school I was editor of our school news paper and he actually agreed to do an interview with a schoolboy. Still can't believe he agreed to it. He was the most humble man you'd ever meet and answered my questions with care and grace. Great guy.

  7. Not sure if it was in this interview or another time on the sports cafe with Mark Ellis he only played the first half like Ali said he would walk off and he would go straight to the shower then go to bar not even worried about the rest of the game πŸ’―πŸΊπŸ˜‚

  8. Bakkies epitomizes what playing rugby in SA was like back in the day….it rough and the game was secondary to the carnage we could inflict, really it was battle without the weapons. If my school rocked up at your school we were there to steal your chicks, piss on your battery and beat the crap out of your rugby team before mooning you on our way out. Good times !

  9. I lost my love for rugby when 1) It went professional & 2) when I saw him play. However, having 2 boys who played I kind of understood the hero worship although they would never have dared copy his behaviour. There's a lot of testosterone on that field.
    South Africans take rugby very seriously & tend to forgive bc "he's the man!"

  10. Every New Zealnder at one point seemed to have collie flour ears, they had them when they joined the all blacks, the South Africans just played the game as hard as NZ, just not as skill full to get away with it.
