    He held the 400m record for 16 years!
    He was the fastest 400m athlete in the world in his day, but obviously could not compete internationally due to sanctions.
    He was probably the fastest raw-speed rugby player I have ever seen.

    • @FerderSBV
      @FerderSBV 10 месяцев назад +1

      Correction he could not compete due to racism and he was a whites only champion. So it means very little as he never competed against all available talent. But then again having these conversations with the people who nostalgicly speak of such a terrible period of SA history is the ultimate exercise in futility. Brian Habana beat odds he never had to face to become a great rugby player and you dare compare them.

      ​@@FerderSBV I remember Reinach well, I ran against him in 80s. He was very quick, quite a bit faster than Habana. By the way, those were the days of Piet Koornhof, min of sport, " nuwe sportbeleid ", as it was known in afrikaans. So there were quite a lot of black runners competing against whites. I ran against all races many times. Peter Ngobeni was a fast sprinter, he was SA champ at least once, competing against all races. It was a period when things could had moved faster in SA, but PW Botha could not cross the Rubicon, as they said. Roy b, CapeTown south africa 🇿🇦

    That Bok backline for the Cavaliers...probably one of the best, if not the best backline SA has ever had. Naas, Johan Heunis, Danie Gerber, Christo Ferreira/Garth Wright, Carel du Plessis, Michael du Plessis, Jaco Reinach...I personally believe that if isolation didn't happen. SA and NZ would still be neck and neck, possibly with SA's nose in front. Some of the greatest players to have played the game denied an international stage.

      He was not very tall, his wikipedia says 5ft 10inch. I ran against him in 80s. I reckon he might not even have been 5ft 10inch, maybe a bit less if I remember correctly. But his body was almost as wide as his height ! He was not quite lean , as other sprinters were. Before a race, as we were standing on line waiting for starter to set us off, he would break from his lane, walk from first to last lane shaking everyone's hand. Not sure why he did this, maybe to intimidate everyone. By the way, I actually knew his dad as well, a dentist, with a similar build to him. Roy b Cape town, south africa 🇿🇦

    Man had some serious pace, but some of the claims as to what many players can run 100 metres in are highly dubious. There are outliers, you are not running (an official at least) 10.3 100 metres off the back of a 45' 400. There are many faster 400 specialists today who couldn't run a 10.3. He's probably at least 1/3 of a second off that, which is still absolutely rapid for a field sportsman....
