The True Springbok Story of Richard Bands
--:--
When Richard Bands barnstormed his way across 40 metres, manhandling All Blacks flyhalf Carlos Spencer on his way to the tryline, to score a famous five-pointer for South Africa he guaranteed his name as a legend in Springbok rugby history. But there’s so much more to the great man. In this candid discussion, Richard opens up about what really happened in 2003 when he made his debut for the Springboks. In addition to that famous try, Bands was also on the wrong side of a 52-16 defeat to New Zealand and World Cup heartbreak against England and the very same Kiwis. Richard also talks about what happened at Kamp Staaldraad and gives his opinion on coach Rudolf Straeuli in this fascinating conversation. Buckle up for an exhilarating journey back in time with one of the all-time Bok legends!
