Unbeatable: Who are the most successful Boks?
STAT ATTACK: Merely two Springboks with 10 plus Tests to their name have a 100 percent winning success rate during their careers, with one being a current Bok rookie.
The only Springbok coach to have this illustrious record is the late George Moir Christie, more affectionately known as Kitch.
Following his great success at Transvaal, (now the Lions) winning the Super 10, Currie Cup, Lion Cup and Night Series in 1993 – Dr Louis Luyt, who was the newly appointed SARU president at the time chose Christie as the Bok successor to Ian McIntosh in 1994.
Christie coached the Springboks to 14 consecutive victories which includes the historic 1995 World Cup Final at Ellis Park.
