Rugby: Fearless Joel Stransky on what went wrong with the Springboks after '95! @frontrowrugby

Joel remembered for that drop goal...But lets not forget what an amazing servant he has been of our game ..I salute !

I remember that in 1995 that Kitch Christie regarded Joel Stranky as the most talented player in our World Cup squad. JS was much more than just that drop goal that won us our first World Cup. Much respect from s 65 year old Afrikaans outoppie!

I had the privilege of meeting Joel a few times at Berea Rovers club, after Natal matches. A really nice person and true gentleman. Not too shabby with the boot either!

Love your interviews Pieter. In good spirits, honest and super respectful! Keep up the good work!

Thank you Joel, you are an incredible gentleman!

Loved that interview! So nice to hear what the okes are getting up to after they hang their boots up. Thanks Pieter andJoel

Classy onderhoud met 'n classy dude wat 'n classy losskakel was. Dankie aan albei.

What a cool and sharp, humble rugby man Joel Stransky is. I really enjoy his commentary these days he’s very fair.

Excellent interviewer, good luck going forward.

Great interview thank you

4 times. Three times in the incoming series and once 17-18 in November in France. Dillyn Leyds try being the difference

Boks won all of them. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic interview! So well spoken Joel!!

Mark Andrews took quite exception to it when Kitch Christie told him to call him either Coach or Mr Christie.

I met Him couple of timed in cape town..oh wot a guy.. very humble as well

Glad to see at last that I am not the only one who thinks the Markgraf era was the Springbok's lowest point.

I don’t believe we won that test against the French. They scored in that 95 game. We also scored against the all blacks in the final

The 3 Ms all did.Markgraaf Mellett and most of allMcintosh

They won all 3

It was a very interesting interview to hear Joel's comments. I want to thank him for kicking that drop goal in 1995. Through the years of watching rugby I have listened to his commentary often. Something I picked up in the long run, is that he seems to come across as having a noticeable negative undertone towards SA rugby in his comments by being overly sympathetic towards our opponents which could be a little annoying. I have no idea how good a coach Markgraaf was, nor the reasons why Joel did not get on with him, but it seems that the politically correct thing to do is to criticize Markgraaf due to the incident that led to him being fired (Well deserved imo). Maybe just a little personal beef there from Joel. Anyway, a good interview thanx
