Francois Hougaard - An Explosive Talent

Francois Hougaard is one of those players who should have played 100 tests for the Springboks. He burst onto the scene in 2009 and scored some brilliant tries for the Bulls and the Boks. Unfortunately he was behind Fourie du Preez in the pecking order which meant he was often deployed on the wing, because he was too good to leave out of the side.
What a player...
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Brent Russell and Hougaard, both sublimely talented, both held back by coaches who just couldnt look past their flaws and maximse their talent instead.

Irishbrah hougaard is a brilliant wing, but his passing and kicking game was far too poor for springbok scrumhalf. Very unreliable.

He was and is still a legend

[@francoisvanstaaden4185]

I know he insisted on playing scrumhalf instead of wing, I guess it was his own insecurities he had about playing wing instead of playing scrumhalf that hold him back as a player. Although several coaches said he would make it on the wing, he believed that he was a better scrumhalf, so it was his own fault that he got overlooked as a player and never reached his full potential. IMO he was a better wing than scrumhalf.
