Rugby: Why Kitch Christie worked - and Ian Mac didn't! #frontrowrugby

In the latest of our new series in conjunction with Front Row Rugby, Peter Stemmet chats to former Springbok Hennie le Roux. Hennie played under three different coaches and talks about how these coaches differed from each other. They also discuss the euphoria of winning the 1995 Rugby World Cup and the dissapointing end to his Springbok career. Watch this fascinating interview with a legend of the game!
