A Rollercoaster Back In Time With Johan Roux

Loading player...
Buckle up for an unforgettable journey to a memorable time in Springbok rugby with 1995 Rugby World Cup champion Johan Roux. Johan shares his journey from his debut against England in 1994 to the tough tour to New Zealand that followed to the glorious moment when South Africa won the Rugby World Cup the following year. But not all was well at that stage. Roux takes us behind the scenes to what happened as the game was turning professional. It was not plain sailing as they say. Johan played under Ian McIntosh, Kitch Christie and Andre Markgraaff and gives his take on each of the men who led the Boks in the mid-90s. He also gives an insight into Louis Luyt.
