    There was a 18month period where Bobby was playing some of the best rugby i had ever seen. That includes all players. Man was a mercurial talent..then he had the car accident and that was that.

    Would have been a great bomb squad player for current day rugby. Watching this just after we won the world cup (2023)

    Bob Skinstad try against Australia one of the 3 best I've seen. I'm still buying that dummy all these years later!

    What I will always remember and love about Bobby,s rugby was his intelligence, coupled with pace and ability.

    A superb link man of the classic mold, playing in one of the springboks best eras.

    What an athlete Skinstad was! Had an eye for the chance too.....good thing for him Venter was softening up the opposition with his brutal play.

    At the height of his playing days Bobby was a superstar,the darling of the SA public - appeared in so many adverts etc etc. His longevity is also amazing considering he was part of the 2007 teams and he started playing from 96-98 or so?

      I remember him getting isolated and having the crap rucked out of him by the NZ pack

    It was one of my saddest days in rugby when he got into that car accident and couldn't play again. He and Joost would have been the most dangerous combo for years.

    Look how mobile rugby players were back then, a flanker like him would have the same mobility as half the centres we see now.

  • @chr1spybeef741
    @chr1spybeef741 7 лет назад +3

    when he changes into top gear at 18:10 just shows how much pace he had, a good flank on the move like a fleet footed greyhound!

  • @magnusbrzenk447
    @magnusbrzenk447 5 лет назад +6

    18:58 He was the only ever flanker who could beat men like a winger

    Great player! Sad that Mallet used him to deprive the Boks of the 1999 RWC.

    One wonders who was doing all the work to get the ball and keep it when Skinstad was standing in the backline.

    • @timsmythe8669
      @timsmythe8669 8 месяцев назад +1

      No there was space for Gary in the world cup squad but Anton Leonard was the one who ultimately took his spot. Could have had both Bobby and Gary there but Mallet was being a right doos

    This is why we lost the world cup.We lost Gary Teichmann, best 8 in the world and best captain and none of the senior boks wanted Bobby over Teich but hey it was provincialism by drinking buddies Mallet and Solomons .Decisions made in the pub not always best.

    • @MrChenjinyuan
