The former Sharks loose forward picks a team of the best he has played with and against.

15. Chris Latham

I loved the way he went about his game. He had some real X factor.

14. Bryan Habana

He was responsible for some heartache when I played against him. But there was nothing but joy when watching him score for the Boks.

13. Tana Umaga

He was never rushed and had a real presence in midfield.

12. Frans Steyn

Frans has real vision and skill and knows when to turn it on.

11. Lote Tuqiri

Lote has it all: pace, skill and size.

10. Freddie Michalak

He was mercurial and great for the team during his time in Durban.

9. Fourie du Preez

The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). Fourie simply has a great rugby brain.

8. Rodney So’oialo

Rodney was aggressive and physical. A player who would always be in your face.

7. Andre Venter

A player I have big respect for. A big man with a great work rate.

6. George Smith

In his heyday he could singlehandedly win a game with his impact at the breakdown.

5. Johann Muller

Johann is hardworking and honest. A great leader.

4. Bakkies Botha

Intimidating. If he had your number it was a long day at the office.

3. Carl Hayman

A prop as tough as they come.

2. Bismarck du Plessis

Bismarck is extremely competitive. A man for the big games.

1. Os du Randt

A player ahead of his time as a prop. A two-time World Cup winner.
