Great sense of anticipation. His general play was average though.

HM won’t take that and neither will a couple of guys in the squad.

That’s why it is a team sport. Players compliment each other and hopefully allows each member of the team to shine.
Vic is a legend.

Bakkies work ethic was amazing and he allowed Matfield lots of scope on field. He is the greatest lineout jumper ever to grace a rugby field though.

Brok harris had no shove behind him from Bekkker.Monstered by
Beast .Is he still injured or gunshy of a recurrence.?
Good post by the Brig.What a luxury to have Bakkies,Victor,Danie,Juan.
See nobody on immediate horizon who compares.Oh,and Schalk and
the now out of favour Heinrich.

Two seasons ago nobody could live with him. Supreme athlete. Whereas Matfield was a good lineout jumper who stayed clear of the rough stuff – Bekker possesses all the qualities. Pity about his injury woes. Hope he stays injury free now.

Oh really?

Thanks.

What is his rugby pedigree? Did he play at any level?

From what most heard, Victor coached the forwards, not van Graan. And I await the entrance, stage left, of soprano Taccy to tell me otherwise.

Contrary to the opinions expressed here he is in fact an 80 minute player. The issue is he is overplayed by the Stormers.

With Bismarck throwing in there will be no problems at lineout. I’m looking forward to seeing this overdue partnership.

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 13:48:53 +0000 http://keo.co.za/?p=106314#comment-2200047 @Provvas-66: Agree. I can understand players are gutted when they don’t make the Bok squad, or they lose a home semi final etc etc, but when they start showing ZERO heart for the game, time for them to take a royal tumble IMHO.

@ufo-67: Indeed. A player like this is always worth 10 of any other. I will be rooting for him as well.

Not sure if he is related to Barend.

Eager to see him play. Jongi Nokwe also use to travel by taxi to practice when he played for Boland.
