I was 14, remember watching this Craven Week, feels like it was yesterday.. Earl Rose was a school boy star, what a player.. That craven week produced springbok players like chilliboy, morne steyn, ruan pienaar, pierre spies, bismarck du plesis to name

[@meeshnozigqwaba8972]

Morne Steyn, Bismarck du Plessis, Jacobie Adriaanse, Joe Pietersen, Ryan Pienaar, Andries Strauss Just wow

[@dawiebenjamin3249]

[@meeshnozigqwaba8972]

Earl Rose, Morne Steyn, Joe Pietersen, Bismarck du Plessis, Jacobie Adriaanse, Andries Strauss, Ruan Pienaar Yoh

[@stephanusdegoede8976]

No way~ FS had Bismarck, Pienaar, M.Steyn and Andries Struass in that team... I suppose thats why watching CW and the U/20 WC could always be worth it

[@mornevanjaarsveld9623]

Stephanus de Goede I dont think thats the Morne Steyn we know because he was in a Western province school

[@Donavan37]

@@mornevanjaarsveld9623 Actually morne steyn went to a free state school. He and Ruan are best mates.

[@mornevanjaarsveld9623]

@@Donavan37 yes, you are right, I had it wrong because he was born in Cape Town hospital in Bellville , so I assumed he went to a Cape school, but he went to Sand du Plessis

I think AB de Villiers was the Bulls' flyhalf at this craven week. I don't suppose that anyone has footage of that?

[@marlinboyd8800]

I can confirm that is true, pierre spies was also in the same team

[@marlinboyd8800]
