In this fascinating and frank discussion Gaffie Du Toit opens up about his Springbok career. Gaffie burst on to the scene in 1998 as an exciting young flyhalf. He was supposed to be a Springbok star for the next decade at least. But life does not always work out that way. He was publicly blamed for a 28-0 loss to New Zealand in Dunedin in 1999 and was dropped meaning he missed the World Cup. He would miss the 2003 tournament too before being recalled by Jake White in 2004. Gaffie helped the Springboks win the Tri-Nations that year having become more of a fullback by that stage. Du Toit holds no grudges and in this candid conversation he talks openly about his career, the highs and lows, the might-have-beens.

In this fascinating discussion about his memorable Springbok career, former captain Gary Teichmann opens up. Gary recalls his Test debut in 1995 after missing out on the Rugby World Cup earlier that year. Less than a year later, Teichmann was thrust into the spotlight as the new Springbok captain after Francois Pienaar was sensationally dropped by coach Andre Markgraaff. Gary and Markgraaff formed a good relationship and success followed with a series win in France. Soon Markgraaff was out and Carel Du Plessis took over and oversaw a series defeat to the 1997 British & Irish Lions. Teichmann seriously contemplated retirement before Nick Mallett took over and restored Gary’s confidence. The Springboks went on a record run of 17 unbeaten Tests before things turned south in 1999. Mallett ultimately dropped Teichmann ahead of the 1999 Rugby World Cup. It remains one of the most controversial decisions ever made by a Bok coach. Gary does not shy away from answering all these questions in this superb episode of Front Row Rugby. 00:00 Introduction by Peter 00:40 Debut against Wales 01:50 Waiting years for a Test cap 02:37 Missing the 1995 Rugby World Cup 03:11 1996 Tri-Nations 04:09 Becoming Springbok captain 09:26 1996 end-of-year tour 11:03 Andre Markgraaff 12:38 Carel Du Plessis 14:40 Losing to the 1997 Lions 16:05 Nick Mallett 17:49 1998 Tri-Nations 22:53 1998 End-of-year tour 25:45 Losing 28-0 to the All Blacks 27:28 Dropped 32:16 Toughest opponent 32:31 Funny moment 34:12 Favourite current player 35:18 These days 36:28 Trivia question Peter says: I love the Springboks and rugby is one of my favourite sports.
