Biography

BIO loading


Getting my first team cap back in high school was definitely my most memorable moment. It marked the beginning of my rugby journey and holds a special place in my heart.

I don’t really have any pre-game rituals or superstitions. I just focus on getting my head in the game.

Finn Russell has been a huge inspiration to me. He plays the game differently from everyone else, and his unique approach has always fascinated me.

Gert Steyn is hands down the funniest player in our squad.

Breaking my wrist for the second time was a tough moment. I just kept it cool and stayed focused on my rehab, determined to get back on the field.

When I’m not playing rugby, I love playing a round of golf. It’s a great way to relax and unwind.

My advice is simple: Never give up. You never know when your time will come, so keep pushing forward.

The most unusual place I’ve played rugby is Jacobsdal. It was definitely a unique experience.

If I could invite three rugby legends to a braai, it would be Ma’a Nonu, Dan Carter, and Brian O’Driscoll. That would be an epic gathering!

Yes, I can light a fire without blitz. It’s a handy skill to have!
