The Pocket Rocket. Brent Russell hit the South African rugby scene like a thunder strike in early 2002 when he shone for the Pumas in the Vodacom Cup. He was given an opportunity in the Springbok trials and again impressed with his speed and skill. He was selected in the Springbok group and made his debut against Wales.
He would feature regularly for the Boks between 2002 and 2006, but the feeling has always been that he could have contributed so much more if South African coaches weren't as obsessed with size.
All in all, he scored some fantastic tries during his career and will be fondly remembered for his exploits on the field.
Here is a collection of some of his best tries.
Enjoyed and thanks for watching!
