    Francois Steyn: Treating rugby balls like they owe him money since 2006.

    That drop goal against Clermont is unbelievable. Hit it from a different post code and still had loads left on it when it went over the bar. And looked so casual whilst doing it.

      Luckily Rassie Erasmus noticed him. He was the single key factor in our 2019 world cup strategy, because he can cover any position in the backline with world class performance. Its because of him that Rassie gambled with the 6-2 split and created the bomb squad.

      No one ever played him strategically. Boks should have excelled and built a team around his excellents. But for some reason they always seemed to play him like an extra

    You'll should see his 50/22's, even before they were a thing! What I love about Steyn is his BMT, kicking those in WC, WC finals, BIL series, last minutes in games. Can always count on him.

    An absolute wand of a boot! One of those players you grow up watching and every so often hearing "Did you see Steyn's kick vs XYZ at the weekend?" To be fair though, has he ever done it on a wet Thursday night in the Sportsground vs Ensei in the Challenge Cup? 🤣

  • @PeterDawson-ii5ss

  • @Goisis88
    @Goisis88 Год назад +29

    Best long range kicker to play for the Boks since Naas Botha. Incredible all-round talent as well, worthy of a more rounded tribute vid. Architect of the 6-2 bench split due to his versatility. One of those rare seasoned players who started as a pacey utility back and closes his career built like a heavyweight loose forward. Would love to see this man win a 3rd world cup

    • @wernertukker5420
      @wernertukker5420 8 месяцев назад +5

      Absolutely agree. Makes one wonder how far Naas would’ve been able to drop or penalty kick these modern balls. You just know Naas was beaming every time Frans kicked a drop goal. I remember he really seemed to cherish his drop goal against Australia, shown in this collection. It’s a shame he couldn’t make another World Cup. Forever a Bok legend

    One of my very favourite Boks. Not only the BOOT when younger with his speed and foresight . Then the older Frans, the brains and the power. What a champ.
    Playing 12 for the Boks is no free ride. That`s some tough stuff. Thank you Francois Steyn. I am sure Rassie has you in the future plans of Bok rugby.
    Edit to add ---- Australia 2027 lookout !! SA are coming to win.
