Cobus Visagie: Springboks Career & Major Controversies
In this episode of Front Row Rugby Springbok Rugby legend and former prop Cobus Visagie discusses his time with the Boks, from his debut against Italy in 1999 to the Rugby World Cup later that same year and a highly controversial moment in between against Wales which Cobus says he originally intended for his book but reveals to us here!
Visagie also compares Nick Mallett, Harry Viljoen and Rudolf Straeuli's coaching methods. Spoiler alert: He did not rate Straeuli and tells us why in this interview. Cobus also discusses his positive test for nandrolone for which he was later acquitted.

Peter says: I love the Springboks and rugby is one of my favourite sports. Although as a sports journalist I am supposed to remain neutral, I always like to point out that before I became a professional, I was just a big fan! I hold a Masters Degree in International Journalism so at least you know I should be able to ask a good question or two! My dream is to do this YouTube Channel permanently.
