Springboks hard man Bakkies Botha has revealed his toughest opponents on the rugby field in a series of interviews.

#3. Alun Wyn Jones (Wales)
BOTHA SAID: “I like Alun-Wyn Jones, he’s a good fighter. We had some epic battles down the years and I have a lot of respect for what he’s gone onto achieve.”
JONES ON BOTHA: “He revelled in it didn’t he. Physically he has to be up there. Let’s just say he was able to keep the tradition going of the hardest of South African second rows.”
