Morne Steyn

Rugby is one of the world’s most popular sports, one that takes a lot of skill and power to play. Every game is one that takes a heavy toll on the body, with only those in top physical form being able to honestly handle what the sport demands. It’s simply not one that a lot of people can honestly do. With that being said, there are a lot of people who are some really good rugby players out there, leading their teams out to battle against another. By most accounts, there is simply no sport that is as physically demanding as Rugby, and with that being the case, there’s definitely something to be said for those who can actually stand out from the pack. Of all of the exciting players out there, Morne Steyn is one that is viewed to be one of the best.

The fly-half for South Africa & Bulls is definitely a force to be reckoned with. When it comes to the Bulls club, Steyn is definitely their golden boy. Considering his impressive record of four drop goals against the Crusaders in 2009, there are definitely a lot of people who are plotting their strategies against the man. To that token, those helped the Bulls win a successive Super 14 title. Without Morne Steyn, there’s a good chance that they wouldn’t have even gotten nearly as closee as they actually did. What makes matters more interesting is the fact that the man still has a good amount of Rugby in him, as he is only 25 years of age.

Heinrich Brussow

There is definitely no shortage of amazing rugby players around the world, all with their specific skill sets being put to some good use. With that being the case, there are definitely a few standouts from the pack, those that continuously go above and beyond the call of duty. Of all of these players that are competing, Heinrich Brussow is one that has been found to be one of the best on the planet. Just last year, he was considered just another young player, and he broke that mold pretty quickly. At just 23, he is considered to be one of the top rugby players, and that is definitely saying something with there being some of the most talented athletes playing the game.

Playing for South Africa & Cheetahs, Heinrich Brussow has quickly become a terror out there, doing some very amazing things with the ball. At the Super 14, he electrified the crowd and the competition alike, deftly moving around the field against some pretty mediocre competition. He did what no one else could, and this is definitely a person to watch out for. Considering that the man is only 23, there is definitely a need for the other clubs to watch out for this guy, as he will continue to decimate the rest of the players who are willing to cross paths with him. Already, he is considered to be the only player on the planet whose foraging skills are comparable to Richie McCaw.

Brian O’Driscoll

Rugby is arguably the most manliest sport on the planet. Every game, a person finds that this particular sport is one that takes a lot of gusto to play, and there are very few people on the planet that can actually say that they can survive the sport. Professional rugby players are known for their raw talent and power, and many of them feel as if they are the finest athletes on the planet. This is definitely something that they should be proud of, as this is definitely something that is, for the most part, absolutely true. When it comes to some of the best out there, there are barely any that can compare to the talent of Brian O’Driscoll. The man is simply what legends are made of, and he doesn’t seem to be slowing.

He is one of the grizzled veterans that definitely commands respect. Since his tenure with Ireland & Leinart, O’Driscoll has consistently proved himself to be one of the best on the planet. He consistently has proved himself to the younger guys and the older ones alike. It was once said that he was no longer at the top of his game, but the man fought against the odds and is still known to be the best doing it. For instance, in the Six Nations Grand Slam, he was believed to be carrying the team on his back, ultimately giving them the victory. When it comes to the ferocity of this man, there aren’t too may people on the field that don’t cringe before they are even hit.
