Zola Bud. She did not get the recognition she deserved.
GARY TEICHMANN without a doubt!

Between 1997 and 1998 the Springboks went on a record winning streak of 17 consecutive test matches with Gary Teichmann as captain. As part of their unbeaten run they won the 1998 Tri Nations Series undefeated, beating both Australia and New Zealand away from home. They kicked off the feat with a record dismantling of Australia to win 61-22 at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria and ended with a defeat against England at Twickenham at the end of a long tour.

A list of record victories during that period includes:

23/07/97 South Africa 61-22 Australia at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria
22/11/97 South Africa 52-10 France at Parc des Princes, Paris
06/12/97 South Africa 68-10 Scotland at Murrayfield, Edinburgh
27/07/98 South Africa 96-13 Wales at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria
Although not records they also beat Ireland 33-0 at Loftus and Italy 74-3 in Port Elizabeth. In all Teichmann played 42 tests for the Springboks, and still holds the record for the most consecutive test matches played for the Springboks with 39.
Lucas "Ru" Radebe and Ryk Neethling.
They have had some great sports persons but few with personality. Probably the most famous on a World level are the golfers Player,Els and Goosen.

Jonty Rhodes.now that cricketer can "klap" a mean six.
Naas Botha, Kobus Wiese..
Cobus Wiese! He is ugly as hell but a great personality!

Andre Nel, he is an aggressive player but he is a very kind and nice man.

Jaco van der Westhuyzen, I admire him for the way he handle his privacy, yet he stays very professional.

I know this, because I was privileged enough to meet them and I work in the sports industry.
