[QUOTE="JJFlash, post: 871226, member: 72729"] I had the privilege of seeing him play for the Blacks in England back in the 60s. He was a player that struck fear into the opposition. If I remember correctly, towards the end of the 60s he played alongside Frik du Preez in an invitation game at Welford Road. They would have spent years knocking the shite out of each other when the Blacks played the Boks and watching those two alongside each other in the same second row was just awesome. Maybe someone else remembers that game and can concur with what I'm saying. By today's standards he wasn't a big man in the physical sense, - a mere 1m92 / 6ft 3, but he had such an imposing presence on the field. The one and only Pinetree - RIP [/QUOTE]
