As a New Zealander and All Black supporter it pains me to say it but Danie Gerber is the greatest centre I have ever seen play. Even on our muddy waterlogged fields in 1981 Gerber was a one man wrecking machine

The gold standard at 13 and I'm an ABs fan. Would walk straight into the best XV of all time.

[christoels]

No greater centre then, and no greater since then or even now. Hail O'Driscoll, but the greatest of them all, you've guessed it, Danie Gerber!!

[mattinbassaber]

this guy was a beast !!! pure power and speed, He would still be a awesome player now

[boardingbear]

Size, speed, step. What a brilliant combination of attributes for any era.

[johnsmithwinkwink]

What a legend, I used to watch him play for Club Despatch back in South Africa. AWESOME player.

[drommie]

One of the best centers of all time. Pure genius and poetry in motion.

[suziederkins]

As a kiwi, watching Danie tear apart the All Blacks in 81 everyone in New Zealand knew we were witnessing greatness. Simple the best I've seen

[jacqueskirchner]

It's easy to be nostalgic and let it dictate ones praises but DG was one of the deadliest centres ever to grace the midfield. Silky running, deft decision making and speed and power to boot!

[alwynmalan]

One of the few classic players that would still be great in modern rugby. Can't think of any other player of his size and speed with that amazing sidestep

[saitamalowry]

The original Blitz Bok. This legend was a flyer. One of those players that was ahead of him time, who would've been outstanding in this era. No hesitation in calling Danie Gerber as one of the greatest rugby players of all time.

[robtaggart]

What a wonderful player, speed, power, agility and a man who knew his role. (All Black supper:)

Tim Horan and Danie Gerber the dream centre partnership, two bulls in the middle of the field, greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪.

[AfricanSouthernCross]

New Zealand and the rest were lucky they never had to face the Boks during the world cups that South Africa were not allowed to play in, in the 1980’s.

[mariomulder]

I will always remember the rebel tour in 1986 . SA vs All blacks . SA won 3-1 with Danie Gerber the top try scorer. I was in primary school at that time .

[markgreenaway]

He wasn't just fast he ran HARD. A nightmare to tackle.

[richjmb]

I didn't know about him! Now I do!!

[jacqueshughes]

Watching this again - such a shame that S.Africa was banned from the 1987 world cup. They were at their peak and packed with legends! I would have loved to have seen him in a RWC.

[jacqueshughes]

Faster than most wingers in the world; Lomu-type thighs but with a low center of gravity; could read the game/gaps; knew the way to the line; had great hands; had great vision; could pass well/far off both hands; could side-step, swerve, or dummy; always in support; great engine; multi-talented and one of the greatest examples of power x speed.
See the way that an international flanker, John Jeffries was just trampled!

[thanduxoloponti]

I feel like Jacque Fourie studied him a lot. If you'll switch off the the commentary and watch Danie run, I promise you will think that he is Jacque Fourie. Remember Foure's tru in that BIL tour? That what Danie eat for breakfast, it was his bread and butter
