As a final it had everything: a death, a freak injury and an unusual – and not universally popular – refereeing decision by referee for the day, Freek Burger. That wasn’t all. The final also had an unexpected late second-half twist. And a twist it quite literally was.
Early on in the winter of 1976, Freek Burger’s knee was badly crocked by a Jan “Boland” Coetzee late tackle in a club rugby game between Police and Maties down in the Western Cape. The injury wasn’t crippling but it was bad enough to suggest that the fly-half needed to take stock.
