Strauss,the Captian in waiting.

If the Boks are looking for a stalwart,a dark horse hero to lead a band of rag-tag bandits in to the murky waters of international rugby they have to look no further then Adrian Strauss. The man is a true warrior.If he did not play rugby he would most likely be in the ranks of the SAS or Australian Comando's Special forces.Such is the leadership of a man who has lead a team that was at the bottom and at the end of a wooden spoon for many seasons.He inspires the Cheetahs,in times when they are dead out on their feet and looking s certain loss in the face he ignites a fight back and a glorious one.He is always ready to run and unafraid of any defender.Oh and unlike brute Du Plessis he has a rugby brain and not just muscle.He demands respect with his "never give up" attitude.I would easily compare him to the late great Winston Churchill.Spies can only dream of leading the Boks. "We will fight them in the trenches,we will fight them in the fields and in the skies.We will never surrender,we will never give up!!!!"
