Heinrich Brüssow is the latest product to roll off the Springbok production line at Grey College in Bloemfontein.

Brüssow becomes Grey College’s 32nd Springbok as the Bloemfontein institution moves ever closer to becoming the school with the most Springboks – after Bishops (34) and Paul Roos (33).

Brüssow, 22, who with Earl Rose (24) was named as one of two new caps in the Springbok touring side at the weekend, becomes Springbok No. 801 with Rose as No. 802.

Both young men boast records which display all the right building blocks.

Brüssow (born 21/7/1986; 1.81m, 101 kg) played for the SA Schools side in 2004 (along with former schoolmate and fellow flanker Deon Stegmann of the Blue Bulls), made his Free State debut in 2006 (he’s already made 46 appearances for the Cheetahs), was included in the SA Sevens side in 2006 and made his Super 14 debut in 2007 (16 games).

He follows in the footsteps of famous Free State flankers such as Ruben Kruger, Rassie Erasmus and Andre Venter.

Earl Enver Rose (Born 12/1/1984, 1.86m, 77 kg) has also packed a lot of top-class rugby into his young life - SA Schools 2002, SA under 19 in 2003, SA Sevens 2003-04 and SA under 21 in 2004-05.

He made his first-class debut for his home province, Western Province, in 2004-05 (19 games), moved to the Lions in 2006-2008 (34 games) and packed in 11 Super 14 games for the Cats in 2006 and 17 more for the Lions in 2007-2008.

He becomes the Strand High School’s second Springbok – after Colin Beck in the early 80s.
