Giving up rugby at 29 due to a shoulder injury hit
me hard. I stuck around in the uK for the next few years, coaching rosslyn Park, before heading back to Cape town. I still catch up with the boys and speak about
old times. I went to the england v scotland game at twickenham this year and saw Dan Luger and shawsey (simon shaw). I’ve worked in digital media for a while, but had the opportunity to buy a part- share in Le
Cap Sports. It means I’m watching a lot more rugby now. I work on marketing and talent identification. We arranged the Johan Goosen deal to Racing and have more than 50 players. We got Juandré Kruger to toulon, Cheslin Kolbe to toulouse and huw Jones, now with glasgow. When I get some spare time, I surf. I went to the
Maldives a few months ago and highly recommend it. I’m growing the blond hair for the surfer’s look! I’ve enjoyed seeing Wasps getting back to
the top. I watched the Premiership final and Dai Young has got them playing good rugby. It’s cool seeing hask and Cips still doing it. they used to be the kids!
