Just In: Os du Randt and five other Boks who are the first names in the Bok dream team.
Outstanding Os du Randt Leads the Pack in Bok Dream Team Fan Vote
Rugby fans have spoken, and the verdict is emphatic—Os du Randt is the first name on the Bok Dream Team sheet. The legendary Springbok loosehead prop secured nearly 50% of the fan vote in a landslide that shows just how highly the World Cup-winning powerhouse is still regarded by South Africans.
In a campaign launched to celebrate the best Springboks of all time in each position, du Randt’s dominance in the voting was both outstanding and outrageous. A fan-favorite across generations, Os was one of South Africa’s most influential and enduring front-row enforcers. With two Rugby World Cups to his name—1995 and 2007—he remains the only Bok to have achieved that remarkable feat across a 12-year span.
Known for his bulldozing power in the scrums and incredible athleticism for a man of his size, du Randt’s contribution to South African rugby transcended the field. Fans online poured in their votes with passion, many reminiscing about his performances against the All Blacks, England, and Australia during the peak of his career.
“What a legend! Os was a wall in defense and a wrecking ball in attack,” one fan wrote. Another added, “No one deserves it more. Os laid the foundation for many of our great wins. The Dream Team had to start with him.”
The Dream Team selection process continues to build momentum, and next on the agenda is the hooker position. Organizers have teased that five of the greatest Bok hookers in history will be up for vote tomorrow, with names like Bismarck du Plessis, John Smit, and Malcolm Marx likely in contention.
The buzz around the campaign is growing, not just as a celebration of South African rugby excellence, but also as a fan-driven tribute to the legends who have worn the green and gold with pride. And as far as first picks go, Os du Randt’s name is not just a nod to nostalgia. it’s a stamp of greatness.
