Pocket Rocket: Brent Russell’s Colourful Springbok Career

Become a Patron here:   / frontrowrugby   Brent Russell made his Springbok debut in 2002 and in just his third appearance announced himself on the world stage with a magnificent solo try against Australia in Brisbane. Unfortunately opportunities would be few and far between for the man who would become known as the Pocket Rocket. He did manage to make another memorable impact in the 2003 Tri-Nations, also against the Australians, at Newlands when he put in a man of the match performance. In this exclusive interview, Brent looks back on the highs, the lows and the frustrations during a colourful Springbok career that saw him miss the 2003 World Cup through injury, and be treated more as a nice-to-have in the squad owing to his versatility, rather than a prized asset. Here you will hear directly from Russell, as he talks frankly about his time in the famous green and gold. 00:00 Introduction by Peter 00:55 Springbok debut against Wales 03:00 First start 04:37 Memorable try against Australia 06:18 Piet Van Zyl 07:52 Beating the Wallabies 10:04 2002 End-of-year tour 13:03 Narrow win over Argentina 15:21 Man of the match at Newlands 17:38 Kamp Staaldraad 18:48 Rudolf Straeuli 21:08 Winning the Tri-Nations 23:45 Bok career ends 26:50 Versatility 29:07 Toughest opponent 31:00 Favourite player 33:07 Funny moment 34:19 These days 35:23 Trivia Question Peter says: I love the Springboks and rugby is one of my favourite sports. Although as a sports journalist I am supposed to remain neutral, I always like to point out that before I became a professional, I was just a big fan! I hold a Masters Degree in International Journalism so at least you know I should be able to ask a good question or two! My dream is to do this YouTube Channel permanently.
