TALLEST SOUTH AFRICAN PLAYERS AND THEIR HEIGHTS

• RG Snyman (2.06m)
• Lood de Jager (2.05m)
• Eben Etzebeth (2.03m)
• Jean Kleyn (2.03m)
• Franco Mostert (1.98m)

BIG BOOTS TO FILL AFTER BAKKIES, VICTOR AND WIESE’S LEGACY

Desprite his lanky frame, Snyman is surprisingly very versatile in broken play. Skillful

Thus, making him a favourite amongst Bok fans for his combination of height and skill. The Boks have a legacy of tall and powerful locks with names such as Kobus Wiese, Bakkie Botha and Victor Matfield being hard to follow.

Etzebeth has people discussing his legacy against that of Bakkies’. Furthermore, de Jager and Mostert have been monumental for the Boks in recent years while big things are expected of Mostert.

Unfortunately, a chest related illness has ruled Lood out of the Rugby World Cup squad. This has opened the door to the likes of Snyman, Orie and Kleyn who have all stood their ground in the Rugby Championship and Rugby World Cup warm-up’s to date.
