Thank you very much yet agian...Great interview..Its actually amazing how us fans knew so little of all the politics behind the scenes at the Boks at the time..Andre was an unfortunate player with a lot of outside interference in his career but I will always remember him fondly at both the Bulls and the Bokke... Some awesome rugby yesterday..very proud of the Bokke but still think we only fired at 75%...This team can become scarily good..And well done to Los Pumas...wow..edge of the seat rugby in that last ten minutes.. Sir Kirwin should be happy there were no scrums for almost 60 minutes...
Glad you enjoyed it, Sakabula! It is amazing how little we knew about what was going on behind the scenes. But also understandable that a lot of it was kept hush-hush at the time. Great that there are some guys now who are comfortable telling us how they experienced things in those days. Superb result yesterday and I agree, we did not fire on all cylinders. We could have put 50 on the board. Hopefully saving that kind of performances for our friends in the black jerseys! Go the Pumas!
@@frontrowrugby Can't wait to watch the Breakdown to see what "Sir" Kirwin has to say this week..I don't want to be rude but he should actually take off those bullet proof thick glasses and watch a game of Rugby for once
Enjoyed Andre's interview a lot. Growing up he was one of my heroes and always made it onto my virtual team sheets. Really missed him when he stopped playing for the Boks.
Hi André. In 2002 , Rudolph Strauli was the coach. You guys had a training camp at Pretoria Police College. You were a very nice guy always made time to talk to us. We had to do guard duties at your rooms. Was just a great opportunity to meet you and some of the other guys. Breyton was full of himself. You and Bolla Conradie stood out for me. Thank you.
I have good news to deliver. The Go Fund Me page that was set up to help Andre, managed to collect the target amount and a bit more! Not sure whether or not SARU helped in any way.
One of the best centres, way better than a Am, Esterhuizen, De Allende, Joubert and Barry etc. Had horrible injury setbacks too. I agree with his comments on the 1997 Springbok team, ironically it was similar to 1974 when we chopped and changed - recipe for disaster. It wasn’t Odwa but Akona who went to the RWC in 2007, Akona was a winger though. Julies was the centre.
Yeah, a long time ago now but it's interesting how different guys remember things differently. Not sure if you've seen but a few of the 1995 guys have told the story of how they hid a snoek under Mark Andrews' pillow. Sure enough every one tells the story somewhat differently.
James Small to come up with "the move" in 1998? James wasn't even in the Springbok squad in 1998. Nick Mallett said Henry Honiball came up with the move that put Pieter Rossouw under the post went through Kronfeld to beat the All Blacks in Wellington.

Thank you, Andre, for your honesty. You definitely deserved a World Cup or two. 💯💪
I agree, Denis! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thx front Row for this interview. Been waiting for this interview for a long time with the greatest bok centre ever…
Glad you enjoyed it, my man! Snyman was an outstanding player.

Haha, the problem with guys like that is that they are so set in their ways that they don't even seen the game evolving in front of their own eyes.
I loved this interview. Thank you.
So glad you did, Avril! Cheers!

Really glad you enjoyed it Albert! Andre was a superb player and I was so happy I could get him on the show.
Andre didn't hold back and was brutally honest...brilliant!
And that's what we want! He turned out to be a superb guest.
Een van die beste senters wat ons gehad het. Met André se besering het ek besef ons wêreld beker kanse was daarmee heen.

Lovely story!
Honiball, pieter muller and Andre snyman. For me the scariest bok trio.
Unbelievable players!
Apparently the All Blacks also did not enjoy playing against those specific players. Which is a huge compliment to them.
Brenden Venter ook
Add Japie Mulder to the list.
You cannot get a higher compliment!
South Africa wil carry you in our prayers 🙏 ❤
Yes we will!
Wonderful player
Yes, he was!
RIP James small and why is this man not helped by the sa rugby

13-3 to the Boks at Athletic Park.
James Small or Henry - funny how different people recall differently……James wasn’t part of the team 🫠

After all these years, you can still see Andre is so disappointed with South Africa that "his country" let him down.

A bit of a slip of the memory there!
Amacing player. Always thought he got the short end of the straw. How is that English for a Pta boy'tjie?
Amazing player indeed. So pleased I could get him on the show!
Samoa in Springs 2002 I think?
Very close! We actually played Samoa the next week. Wanna try again?
@@frontrowrugby Argentina.Well I had to get it wrong sometimes Peter!
Haha, yes. It's a miracle. You must have a 99% record I'd estimate.

It's a real shame. Today things are so much better managed.
