Big, bold, and brilliant, Beast Mtawarira shares his story with the boys | Use It or Lose It

He's a man needs no introduction - but we'll give him one anyway! At 6.2ft and tipping the scales at 120kg, Tendai 'Beast' Mtawarira earned his nickname and always made his presence felt on the field. He's the most capped Springbok prop in history, third most capped Springbok overall, the most capped South Africa Super Rugby player, and he's played over 100 games both for the Springboks and the Sharks. A Rugby World Cup winner and the bane of the British & Irish Lions, Beast is a national treasure and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
He chats to Jean de Villiers and Schalk Burger about his career, what it was like moving to SA, what he's been up to since he left the game, if he can still manage to smash a 1kg steak in under 10 mins, and how the infamous "BEEEEAAAASSSSTTTT" chant started. And, as always, Jean throws down the gauntlet that is the DHL Bad Jokes challenge...

So much respect for this guy. What a gentleman and ambassador for our sport.

[@eiremike1]

Every episode gets better and better! Really interesting insights and good banter by all 3. Thank you Beast for everything you did for SA and the Boks

[@TheJoffgraham]

I love how South Africa tends to produce loosehead props that are world class legends that hold on to the jersey for years. We've had Os, Ollie, Gurthro, Beast and now it's the time of Kitshoff. South African number ones are number one!

[@lakmedebiles7774]

Glad you mentioned Guthro...way underated player

[@carterpaul2688]

No my friend, Nche!

[@mr.e6748]

Hopefully Ox stays healthy too man, he is a great player.

[@unathiburrow9791]

You can tell Jean & Scalla respect Tendia deeply... Yet another banger of an episode guys!

[@user-tl2cs6wv8b]

Absolute legend🇿🇦 BEEEAAST💪💪

[@morningcoffee4293]

As a Kiwi, awesome to see SB & JD with a SA rugby pod you are both legends, keep it up luv it, lots more content Bok stars

[@AE-Rugby]

just one of the best players and characters ever ! Such a humble Oke and a real Gentleman. I wish he was still playing !! Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeast !!!!!

[@Marcus-mm8yr]

Much respect 🙌 such an immense presence in the dressing room, you see him and Duane in the dressing room...you know it might get tough but we're going to be okay. Big miss for the Lions 2021 Series.

[@ballpythonsinc7222]

Bumped into the beast a few times and every time he was super sweet to everyone around him. All the best in retirement !

[@localcarvideosmore6655]

The man. The legend. The Beast Mtawarira!! My favourite player. Missing his presence in the Green and Gold. You played your part. Job well done. I salute you.

[@pricejoss]

Loving these shows guys. There’s a mystery about Bok players here in the UK because it’s hard to get to know them so this series is brilliant at changing that. Monsters on the pitch and such decent people off it.

[@devanvandyk8173]

Best prop to have ever played , no one could ever compare🙌🏼🇿🇦

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

What a great interview, a very different man on and off the field.

[@leofitzsimon6610]

A legendary rugby player and an even better person. I had the chance to meet him in Washington. DC last year and he was so gracious with his time to discuss the development of rugby in the U.S. I wish he could have stayed here longer but have no doubt that he will have a meaningful impact on improving opportunities for young people in Africa. Great episode.

[@nathanemett8588]

I've given Beast so much shit but honestly he's one of my favorite scrummagers ever

[@basilhendricks788]

This man is respectful and a beast certainly touched so many rugby fans all over the globe

[@lionelschotter4914]

A one team man, a real Sharks and Bok legend.

[@gregorydebeer4531]

Beast, you will always be relevant. I would love to have asked him to talk us through the moment he saved Anton Bresler at the Sharks from falling on his head, with a massive tricep extension. Raw power. JDV and SB, these insightful interviews are just what the doctor ordered. Thanks and keep them coming.

[@oldman774]

Awesome interview, love the Beast, we will miss you in the green and gold

[@charleschurch4901]

[@williamnel4946]

Lekker show guys. Good to hear South African English again. excellent interview with Beast.

[@shegar1000]

Keep it up folks! Absolutely love this show. Best thing on the internet by far.

[@Bennusan1]

[@TheThinkingMathematician]

THE GREATEST PROP OF ALL TIME

[@washidc1]

Stop the show, I'm starting to feel like Scully and Jean are better tv presenters than rugby legends, lol. Great show guys!!

[@maylisdubois8166]

Mtawarira is so coool😅

[@rudolphventer1679]

Brilliant as always, really looking forward to these episodes, silly suggestion, maybe try and do a colab with Jonothan from Radio Raps.

[@alexandervanwyk7669]

Thank you beast, unlike politicians you played an awesome part to make us all part of the colourful rainbow nation. Like Mandela.

[@untouchedwreck1039]

BBEEAASSTT!!

[@NPC6061]

LOL where'd you guys get beer?

[@mjribes]

Beat should have chosen Willem Alberts as his favourite question.

[@mohl3208]

Who will win

[@gemdos7373]

Great interview but what’s with all the red bull?

[@tiaan8551]

bliksem hys groot

[@mohl3208]

Owen is rough

[@mohl3208]

Unfuckwitable

[@mohl3208]

To say you demolished phil vickery

[@connorsnape2740]

Bad jokes should be try to laugh rather than try not too

[@ZambeziKid]

Backs against the wall is when our true character shows? Actually, you could also say the true character is to under perform and not reach the highs when they are expected. They are 2 sides of the same coin and the reason why we have only been world champs every 12 years.

[@heicokuhn7150]

7 people have disliked this video. Who are you and what mental illness do you suffer from?

[@gunner4life568]

sorry boys but those jokes were bad

[@mikezog1030]

Geez Jean you were his team mate and you are the host of the show - the least you can do is learn to pronounce his surname...

[@Marcus-mm8yr]

It's a difficult name to pronounce. Mta - Most pronounce Mata. I hope you're not this petty in real life, and it's just the bants.

[@mikezog1030]

@@Marcus-mm8yr Its not difficult at all. its just Mmm-Tawarira. Not matawarira. And its not petty to expect the host to have enough respect to pronounce his team mates name properly. It is a household name and he was in the same team for how many years?
