The former Sharks loose forward picks a team of the best he 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.

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

Lote had it all: pace, skill and size.

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

The GOAT. Fourie simply had 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. He was 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 was 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.
