The best Springbok team in History

The Springboks, in my veiw probably the best springbok side in its golden history held out the All Blacks for a 32-29 victory on Saturday to add yet another piece of silverware to its already clotted up cabinet.

The Tri-Nations rugby crown for the first time in five years finds itself on its way to the no 1 ranked team in the worlds shores. Deservedly so i'd say, but is this the best springbok team in the history of the green and gold? I d surely put my money on that and say your danm right. Firstly Respect to Mr Peter Devilliers and the rest of the managment and coaching staff for a job well done, it was certainly not an easy ride to glory for the springboks but as they say give credit where credit is due and i'll take my hat off to him for getting it right after having such a mixed 2008 first season as head coach and then in a very short space of time silencing his critics in the best way to silence them by producing the goods...(walking the walk not talking the talk)

Secondly my hat goes off to Jhon Smit, the senior boys, and the rest of the boys for not only getting the trinations in the trophy cabinet but for keeping the springbok's pride alive and well in the heart and souls of each and every South African. I am so proud to be a south african let alone a springbok fan.

What i really admire about this team is the fact that they have found the right ingredients to be sucsessful where in the past we just did not have the belief nor edge to better than the rest. In South Africa we have had the talent in the past to be better than our counter parts but we just did not have the oomfffff this curennt side has....and as for Grahem Henry to Actually Congrat the boys in the way he did speaks volumes of this great sides ability.

I look forward to the year end tour and next years tri nations....more so to the world cup in 2011.....

Is this the greatest springbok team ever and would they be able to make a staement by winning a world cup in New Zealand as the best and the world leaders in Rugby Union

Well Done Boys
