That felt much harder than the forwards, lots of hard men in the forwards vs very different styles and positions in the backs. Gotta make harsh sacrifices early and fill them bottom slots, always some juicy names to come.
Haha it did feel a lot tougher than the forwards for me. Harsh decisions were made 😂. Thanks for watching
Yeah it definately ramped up in difficulty in the second round. If you have any suggestions for our blind ranking topics for the up coming videos do let us know!
Great choices!
Regards from Cape town!
Glad you enjoyed, would you change any if you had done it blind?!
Great show 💪
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed.
Keep a look out for whats coming next!
Decent list!
Thanks for the comment! look out for the next vid, you should enjoy!
COOL....LUV IT
Glad you enjoyed it!
I ACTUALLY agree 100% with the list, yes even Handre at 8. Then you messed it up by bumping him to 1? lol wtf. Cheslin is literally nr 1 in the world.
Haha it was harsh on chessie for sure! Hard to do a blind ranking, but Pollard is faaaaar better than no.8 surely!
@@RugbyOkes He only performs during WCs I remember him missing quite a lot during the games in between WCs.
Nah best 10 we have ever had and best World Cup 10 ever. He’s worth more than 8 for sure for me
for me Bryan Habana is number 1...
One of the best in the business for sure! Hope you enjoyed it!
Damn it, I read "Blind Pranking:...
haha now that would be a hellova video!
@@RugbyOkes :P
Where's Fourie Du Preeze and Naas Botha? - The best backs of the professional and amateur era. We never got to see Naas Botha play in a world cup. Wonder what would have happened if we saw Naas Botha, Danie Gerber, Michael du Plessis and Carel du Plessis in the 1987 and 1991 world cups. Would the 1995 world cup have been as significant had the springboks been allowed to compete in the first two instalments? - There is no question that had these backs been playing in 87 & 91 that 95 would have been our third world cup NOT our first. Gerrie Germishuys was also phenomenal in the 1981 tour to New Zealand. Maybe there is more merit in having two separate lists - One for the amateur era and one for the professional era. How do you compare Naas Botha to Handre Pollard? - They are both generals of the game and match winning kickers, but their makeup is completely different. Naas Botha has won 11 Currie Cups and Handre Pollard is the reason why the boks won back-to-back world cups. That's like comparing Muhammad Ali to Mike Tyson. Also, a big fan of Habana but I like Cheslin Kolbe a bid more - he is the strongest case for sevens rugby players getting game time in the 80-minute format. I dare say if it had not been for Chelin Kolbe's selection we never would have seen Kurt-Lee Arendse in a Springbok jersey. Raw talent is not defined by size. However, if I had to pick one back line player who is perhaps the most committed and the perhaps the GOAT besides Fourie Du Preeze It's Jean De Villers - a captain who suffered injury after career ending injury but just kept inspired greatness because he just kept going. He has the 100 plus caps to prove that he is perhaps the GOAT of all backline players. Again, you have to compare amateurs to amateurs and pros to other pros. My two top picks for amateurs: Naas Botha & Danie Gerber. My two top picks for professional: Fourie Du Preeze & Jean De Villers.
Thanks so much for such a great response! Unfortunately it wasn’t a top 10 players ever or those two would arguably been on the list. It was just a group of players be be blind ranked! Hope you enjoyed and please subscribe to get more S.A. Rugby vids and content!
Beast, best prop, 🤣🤣🤣 your not well
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I would’ve out Bryan at 1 immediately. Adi and Ricky 9 and 10. You know there is better centers and scrum halves ?
Thanks for the reply! Yup there’s lots of better players in lots of different positions. As said in the start of the vid it’s not a top 10 players list it’s a group of players to be blind ranked! Hope you enjoyed! Keep a look out for our next vid as by the sounds of things u will like it!
@@RugbyOkes yes 100%. You made it clear it ls not a “all time” legends list. In my comment i was more thinking out loud how I would play this game strategically.
My strategy would be: since I never know what GREAT names you will announce, you might even get a JDV or a Fourie dp. So as soon as you get an adi and Ricky, rather put them lower down.
@@wernerjoubert-thechristian1961 How would your full list look? bearing in mind George didnt get the luxury of knowing whos coming next ... He struggled with the stress lol!
@@skullie6618i understand why a player like ricky is there. It makes it interesting. Since it’s not necessarily a “legends” list
@@RugbyOkes Firstly I saw my initial post read wrong. I finished with "You know there are better scrum-halves?". I didn't mean to put that question mark there for you. This is how it should have read: If I was playing blind rankings, and the name Adi/Ricky came along, I would place them lower on the list since I would guess that you could've selected stronger scrumhalves. sorry that ? changed my tone. I 100% understand the game and like it. anycase here is my list:
1-Bryan
2- Handre
3-Cheslin
4-Joost
5-Rolls royce
6-Jacques
7-Damian
8-Honibal
9-Ricky
10- Adi
Hindsight is 20/20. Totally unfair to George! looking forward to the next one. keep it up
Sping or Springboks? Just check your title…😊
Thanks brother!! Hope you enjoy the content and keep a look out for our next vid by subscribing!
Comparing players from yester years to players today is a stupid game,
Thanks for the support
Adi Jacobs was a joke. Where is Fourie du Preez De Villiers Andre Esterhuizen Percy Montgomery. I know that is a list randomly selected therefore the comment and my selection should not be seen as criticism except for Adi Jacobs, he was really awful. He is definitely in the top 10 worst players ever to play for SA. JOOST should be one with Habanna in second. Please take note that the Springbok backlines of the 70 and 80 will definitely replace the majority of this list e.g. Danie Gerber Ray Mordt Carel Michael and Willie du Plessis, mannetjies Roux Gysie Pienaar Johan Heunis Naas Botha Syd Nomis Piet Visagie Jaco Reinach Hermanus Potgieter Joggie Jansen. Lastly a player that was immensely prejudiced due to his versatility is Ruan Pienaar. Werner Swanepoel James Small Chester Williams Errol Tobias. In short a list compiled could represent in part an objective acceptability but the subject view will in most occasions compromise the credibility of a list or a part thereof. These lists remain fun and will stimulate response and that is probably the idea and or concept thereof.
Brother. Thanks for the effort in the comment but you missed the whole point of the video. Hope you still enjoyed it and watch out for the next one, will be more to your liking I’m sure.
