Was watching the Bulls Stormers game and after the game Kobus interviewed Pierre Spies, Jean de Villiers and Tiaan Liebenberg. He stood a head taller than all of them. Must have been a demon when he played rugby. Looks like he could still tackle anyone out of their shoes.Was watching the Bulls Stormers game and after the game Kobus interviewed Pierre Spies, Jean de Villiers and Tiaan Liebenberg.

He was 6'6" and around 165lbs / 120kgs - a massive unit, especially for the mid 90s when he played the game. My clearest memory of him was playing against Wales in 1995 (Youtube link below). Four minutes into the game he found an interesting way of neutralising the lineout threat of his hit his opposite number the 6'10" Derwyn Jones, such a good right hander that Jones had to go off!

I know he is a big guy but doesn't he wear high-heeled shoes and have spikey hair combed up to make him look bigger than everyone else ?

They build em big and strong in South Africa, just watch the Bulls and Reds game !

yep, large dude

i remember him, he was worshipped in SA, i think hes about 6,6. shame he got fat though.
