The journeyman Springbok scrumhalf who represented the Bulls, Lions and Stormers names a team of the best he played with and against.

15 Frans Steyn
An all-round great rugby player. He has a massive boot and can drop kick from anywhere. Great player to have in a team.

14 Cheslin Kolbe
Dynamite comes in small packages. He can make anything out of nothing. Very quick and explosive, Cheslin has the best feet in the game.

13 Jaque Fourie
Very good on attack and defence. His communication on the field made him a brilliant player.

12 Ma’a Nonu
He was very intimidating to play against, a very strong and robust player. Couldn’t have an off-day on defence if you played against him.

11 Bryan Habana
A try-scoring machine, always at the right place at the right time. Very quick and explosive.

10 Beauden Barrett
His speed and decision-making makes him the best 10 in the world.

9 Aaron Smith
Very good passing and kicking game, his speed to the breakdown and decision-making makes him brilliant.

8 Kieran Read
All-round great rugby player and rugby brain. He was a solid player.

7 Richie McCaw
Always on the edge, he understood the game. The best to put on the No 7 jersey. Absolute legend in the game.

6 Schalk Burger
The best to put on the No 6 jersey. Every game he played you got nothing less than 100%. Brilliant player and an even better person off the field.

5 Victor Matfield
Technically brilliant in analysing the opposition lineout, he also had great overall skills.

4 Bakkies Botha
He was very hard to play against, always intimidating the opposition. Hard as a rock.

3 Carl Hayman
Very strong in the scrum; that’s what you want from your tighthead.

2 Bismarck du Plessis
He has great strength and power and that made him one of the best hookers in the world. He has amazing skills and is very strong at the breakdown.

Not just a great scrummer, but also a great ball-carrier with amazing skills, offloading and passing with both hands. Great team man and great leader.
