Mannetjies Roux - 3 Classic Tries

Mannetjies Roux is one the true legends of Springbok rugby. He scored 6 tries in test rugby. Here are 3 of those: 1) 1962, 4th Test against the British Lions in Bloemfontein. 2) 1968, 4th Test against the British Lions on Ellis Park and 3) 1969, 1st Test against Australia on Ellis Park

Mannetjies was our next door neighbor in Somerset West .he must have been 13 or so I was 4 years old. My mom said “ he was always with the rugby ball “ !!

An number 11 was centre...

The current Springbok backline can take a page out of this book. THIS is how you play running rugby !

Raakgevat!

Nobody could commentate like Gerard Vivier. As a young boy under 10 I was so inspired the rest of my Love for Springbok rugby was set...

Dis hoendervleis mooi.....

That film footage in colour back in the 1960s of Roux scoring tries is superb. Shame back in the 60s New Zealand didn't have private film makers shooting colour film of All Blacks playing at home instead of the grainy black and white television footage.

Mannetjies Roux a legend of Rugby

[@gospelfilms7942]

Wat 'n legende.

[@jimmyroos1677]

Wow ,he was fast ,almost like Chessie...

[@anria85]

I believe the first one against the Lions is the one Laurike Rauch sings about in her song “Groete aan Mannetjies Roux”

[@user-mkru]

What I would have done to see the following Springbok backline: Fourie Du Preez, Naas Botha, Danie Gerber, Mannetjies Roux, Ray Mordt, Carel Du Plessis/Habana and Andre Joubert.

He was way before his time

[@jamesgeorge2299]

He had serious speed and skill. Who was the Lions number 10 that muffed the attempted tackle at 1:06? Was it Mike Gibson? Those grounds look seriously hard too.

[@MrLinwood68]

I swear the winger looks really angry with Roux in that last try against Australia. I guess he was expecting the glory himself?

[@Mojo1982]

The winger must of been annoyed when Roux didn't pass the ball the other occasion. 01:05

[@MrLinwood68]

To be fair I have seen footage of him passing on other occasions. Maybe the wingers are being a little precious. Lol

Hierdie is nou rugby, nie die betaling wat jy net vir vandag voor speel nie.

[@hughjanus501]

How many did he score against the All Blacks? Fuck all.

[@koningandre]

How many tries did Jonah Lomu score against the Springboks...?
