Biography

Most memorable experience: Faced the All blacks twice (2015 and 2023 Rugby World Cups for Namibia)

Pre-game ritual or superstition: I don't really have one, but I ALWAYS eat a Bar-one before the game (Even take Bar-ones on tour on away games).

?Biggest inspiration: My Wife; she is a Machine! Never complains when I have to leave so that I can follow my dreams!

Challenging moment: ?I think all Injuries are challenging in one's career, but we do get out stronger at the end!

Hobbies or activities: I love doing woodworking and DIY projects, and also Fishing (freshwater and saltwater).

Advice to younger players: ?Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and listen to criticism from Couch Coaches, but always be willing to learn and be teachable.

Your rugby legend: Richie McCaw.
