” For 2011 the Springbok management identified other needs to further raise the bar for the team, which is why Rassie Erasmus and Prof Derik Coetzee have been taken on. ”

This Ceo Jurie Roux , sure thinks like a ‘ shurie ‘ (damp squib) i9f he thinks the myth Rassie “raises the bar” wrt the adequate needs of a good scrum.

What the effin hell has he got to back that up after 4 years of inadequate to even reverse scrums at the Stormers/W.P.?

that sounds like a bit of a tall tale to me, cant see Os crying off at all, probably created by craig dowd, who was not in Os’ league. Os was probably as good a scrummer as Dowd in his youth, but he totally revolutionised prop and LH play – when have you ever seen a prop with 120+ track down backline players and capable of such massive hits with the force of willy O. He was a massive player in all respects and injured for many of his best years.

Olo Brown was one of the best THs ever, no neck and carved out of rock. We had an oke with a very similar build franz ‘domkrag’ erasmus, whom i think only played against teh cavaliers, poor bugger. He wouldve given olo a good run for his money in the TH stakes.

Far as I recall it was a young Os vs Olo in the 1995 RWC final and the bokke pack was steady as a rock, less u forget the droppie.

@Treehugger(Treehugger)-274: draw was made publicly but the NZRU chief Hobbs drew the balls, I would've preferred someone neutral, it all seemed to work out rather conveniently for certain teams...

Os was a great player, no doubt. Never forget seeing him in 1st/2nd-season of S12, playing for OFS, hurtling down the wing, and looping a blind overhead inside pass, perfectly timed to his man. Couldn’t believe such a Big Man, and a prop for good measure, had such skills. And he looks the part, large smiling lump of a beast.

He was no great scrummager tho. Was no more than a ‘holding’ prop but was big and strong enough for a solid platform. Never saw him destroy any respected opposition on his side. Olo Brown didn’t have the running skills as Os but he sure taught him a lesson in the frontrow.

A pity to see Os lower himself to petty sniping, no matter how much it might be justifie. He is, was, one of those legendary rugby ‘characters’ that could have done very well out of the game in the future by just keeping his trap shut.
