A Reminder Of Faf De Klerk’s Brilliant Try Savers From The Weekend [Video]

There were only a handful of Boks who rose to the occasion during the recent series against Ireland, and Faf de Klerk may have been the stand out.

If your Saturday was anything like mine the end of the Bok game against Ireland might be a touch hazy. Nerves will drive a man to drink, and two squeaky bum wins against the Irish certainly had that effect.

I suppose we should commend the Boks on coming back from a test down to win the series, but as a whole there were far too many areas of our game that just weren’t up to scratch.

You can’t fault Faf de Klerk though, the 77 kilogram scrummie twice saving our bacon in the final half hour.

If either of these try-scoring opportunities had ended with the Irish dotting down there may have been no way back, so let’s enjoy a reminder of the terrier-like Faf wearing his heart on his sleeve.
