Victor Matfield talks about Bakkies Botha

[@brianvittachi6869]

In a game that required tough guys, Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield were 2 of the hardest of them all.

[@yahweh1979]

He looks like Chabal

[@richardrice5942]

Matfeild was a match up nightmare for any lock, from a kiwi

[@barryhunt3830]

Bakkies Botha was my favourite lock,hard as rock and he never took a backward step to anyone

People say he was the roughest dirtiest player ever, but at the end of the day, it is a man's sport and builds the aura of a rough tough game. I was scared when they played us(allblacks). Always thought whose he gonna smash or hurt. U had to play a bit smarter when he was out there. What an awesome locking pair. The smart, graceful organized, worker in Matfield. And the hardest, toughest dirty beast in botha

[@ldude]

like in the animal kingdom, it comes with the territory, no one forced anyone to be on the pitch with him! 🤣 🏉

[@fredrikrugby]

Simply grateful that the two also played for the bulls

[@AndyAndreia09]

I love this man!

[@rkaylor5769]

Matfield was the tutor. Great combo greatly missed.

Bakkies Botha un grand monsieur Mercie d être venue chez nous au RCT en France merci pour tous ce que tu nous a apporter au rugby

[@biglou3007]

He’s a great player, though some stuff that he had done on the field are unacceptable, but everyone has their red mist moments, on the whole a great rugby player!

[@occupiedaustralia9952]

That's good , good role modeling mate congratulations.

[@bakkiesbothatheenforcer1638]

It is. That's why he is the best no 4 lock to play the game.

[@wazoodlm]

One of THE BEST lock combos. Evah!!!

[@spdutahraptor777]

Botha+Matfield ...i wouldn't even show up to play

[@reflectingtrees6173]

Two Legends

[@graemehuia5964]

The great locking partnerships always had one brain 🧠 between the two of them.

[@bakkiesbothatheenforcer1638]

And it was enough to make them the best in the world.
