An ode to a revolutionary legend
Never miss an episode of Late Tackle – the talk show with a difference, which brings in various personalities from all over the rugby world each week to dissect hot topics and provide unique insight into the professional game – subscribe here on iTunes.
Brits, who turned out on 10 occasions for the Springboks, will go down in the annals of the sport as the person who redefined the role of a hooker. In his career, Brits was considered too small to pack down in the front row but he proved all his doubters wrong.
He proved that front row forwards can be mobile, possess quick feet, sidestep opposition and even offload in a tackle – everything the modern day hooker is doing. The man simply set the standard.
Howie Kahn, Morgan Newman and Anton ‘Worms’ van Zyl get the show going with a robust discussion about the recent sanctions and ill-discipline that has become a Super Rugby fad.
Morgan lets rip into the Stormers following their defeat at the hands of the Sunwolves at about the 16th minute.
Worms and Morgan finish off their Springbok selections with their potential pack of forwards before the man of the hour – Schalk Brits – takes centre stage to chat about his career, his future and the upcoming June Test Series where the Springboks will host England.
