SA Rugby magazine looks at Willem Alberts' greatest hits, in the new issue that goes on sale today.
Alberts is known as ‘The Bone Collector’, a nickname given to him after he’d flattened two opponents during a schools match and forced them to leave the field.
Alberts says the tackles at international level have required more of his skill and unique brand of physicality that gave him the most satisfaction, and reveals which one he enjoyed the most.
We also look at what Alberts achieved in 2013 and how he's sought to take his game to the next level in 2014.
