Springbok flank Heinrich Brüssow produced a massive performance in a losing cause against France in Toulouse on Friday night but has trouble remembering the opening exchanges of the game.
The little terror was left prone on the field after the first rolling maul from the kick-off, courtesy of a French ‘welcome’ to the highly charged encounter that France won 20-13.
For the next two minutes he wobbled from one play to the next, but shook off the effects of the blow to produce another sparkling performance where he pinched French ball with stunning efficiency.
“I don’t what happened but I took a strange knock,” Brüssow said diplomatically. “I didn’t know where I was for a moment, I thought I was at an airport or something. But I felt okay very quickly so I played on.
“France were more physical than us and we weren’t able to match them. There are no excuses – they deserved to win the match.
The reggae singer the Springboks accused of butchering the anthem before the 20-13 test match defeat to France told AFP on Saturday that he thought he had “sung beautifully”.
Ras Dumisani, sporting dreadlocks tucked into a huge red, green and white Rastafarian cap, was adamant that his performance – which made large parts of the Toulouse crowd burst into laughter – had been a good one.
“No one told me they were upset with the singing,” the Durban native told AFP. “In fact, someone just came up to me and told me how beautifully I had sung.”
The South African anthem was sung before France’s stirring “Marseillaise” and the singer, backed by two drummers of his Afrikhaya Band, made a mess of the four-language homage to the Rainbow Nation.
At the anthem’s conclusion, large parts of the crowd were left openly laughing and several Bok players looked over angrily as the singer made his muted departure from the field.
“I am the biggest reggae man in South Africa and the Springboks are my team.
Ek verskil oor Smit, nie oor sy legendariese status en alles wat hy beteken vir ons rugby, veral as kaptein nie, maar oor sy skrumvermoeë as vaskop.
Hy is nie te sleg nie, sal alles gee, maar hy is definitief nie die beste daar nie. Ons moet nie tevrede wees net met OK nie, ons wil mos die skrums oorheers, dit is wat bokskrums vanmelewe se dae gedoen het. En hoe groot Smit se hart ookal is, ek dink nie hy is die oplossing daar nie.
Dan kan die Bulle netso wel redeneer, Werner Kruger is geen probleem nie. Wel, Werner is OK, maar hy gaan nie oorheers nie, so spreek die probleem aan.
Daarom sal ek voorstel, speel vir Smit op haker, daar waar hy naam gemaak het, en sit CJ en Wian langs hom, met Bissie of Adriaan op die bank.
As Bissie ‘n pissie wil raak omdat Smit weer haker gaan speel, laat hom dan maar terug Ctahs toe gaan, maar ek dink Smit moet haker speel.
Dink net vir ‘n oomblik hoe veel beter gaan ons wees as ons by die Bokke weer ‘n skrum het wat oordonder. Dan gaan spelers soos Brussow en Spies begin BALjaar … om nie eers te praat van wat FDP, MS, Habana en die ander al kan doen nie.
Ja, gemiddelde skrums is nog goed genoeg om trofees te wen, BB en Bokke het dit bewys, ook weer hierdie jaar.
Maar, hoekom settle vir second-best as ons die Audi’s van WB kan wees: a quest for zero defect, ook in die skrums !
Nou ja, daar is my opinie, vat of los dit.
Saam te vat, hier is my voorrye vir nou en die toekoms:
Wian/Heinke
Smit/Bissie/Adriaan
CJ/ WP Nel

124 – Had to You Tube the anthem just to confirm….Yes that was the WORST ever rendition on your lovley anthem.
The bloke just murdered it…..Note to self, if Ras Dumisani is playing at a venue near you, do your eardrums a favour and stay at home!! 😆
Have a great evening guys….The Boks lost but at least England just about managed to scrape a win, however the look of dispair on Martin Johnsons face spoke a thousand words!! 😐
L’ Hymne Sud-Africain massacré par le Chanteur Rasta RAS DUMISANI au Stadium de Toulouse le 13 Nov 2009 pour le test Match France South Africa remporté de belle manière par les Français !!! Les …

bdb,
Stem saam met elke woord. Het dieselfde gese.
Maar die franse lied is hartroerend, slegs die russiese een is mooier.
