Most memorable experience – When my brother and I got the opportunity to play together. To share a field with your brother is special.

Pre-game ritual or superstition - I do not have a pre-game ritual, but I like to be early and have everything ready because I don’t like to be rushed or ordered to do something before a game.

?Biggest inspiration - There were a couple of big influencers in my rugby career: as a youngster, Mr. Yurie Geldenhuys; in high school, Coach Sechaba; and more recently, Coach Tiaan.

Challenging moment - When I was in grade 10, I played for the u/16 D team after I recovered from an injury, and it was COVID at that time, so staying focused on the sport and keeping my interest in the sport was really difficult. I just kept my mind clear and kept on working hard on my own and did extra work to be ready for when everything is back to normal again.

Hobbies or activities – I like to visit the Kruger National Park, and away from rugby I spend most of my time developing new skills in the financial markets and trading world.

Advice to younger players - Believe in yourself, work hard, stay humble, and do all this for Him who gave you the talent.

Your rugby legend – One rugby legend I would like to meet is Pieter-Steph du Toit, not only as a rugby player but also off the field.
