In this clip below, we loot at how a defensive team balances aggression with patience when defending from first-phase scrum attack. While the defensive DNA is built on applying relentless line speed to remove time and space, this example highlights an equally important principle—knowing when not t...

History isn’t just witnessed, it is built by people willing to lead, serve, and believe in what is possible.

It was an incredible privilege to be part of a truly historic moment for South African rugby with the naming of the first-ever SA Schools Girls and SA Schools ‘A’ Girls teams.

To serve as a Mentor Coach within this program was an honour. My role extended beyond the rugby field, to mentor, guide, and support the players and coaching staff within my allocated team, helping create an environment where these young athletes could grow both as rugby players and as people.

This milestone represents far more than the announcement of two teams. It is a testament to the continued growth of the women’s game in South Africa and a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when people invest in creating opportunities for the next generation.

A sincere thank you to SA Rugby, the management team, fellow coaches, support staff, and everyone who contributed to making this landmark initiative a reality. Most importantly, congratulations to the young women who have earned the honour of wearing the green and gold. You are pioneers, and your legacy will inspire many who follow.

I’m grateful to have played a small part in a chapter that will be remembered in South African rugby history.

“Legacy is not what you leave for people. It’s what you leave in people.”

Rugby is more than a game, it’s about building habits, mindset and adaptability.
Grateful to reflect on the DNA behind our St John’s College rugby programme and the journey of developing young men ready for higher performance.

St John’s College blends tradition and modern coaching to develop disciplined, adaptable young rugby players ready for the next level.

10/10! Get into those passing lanes! Try scoring defence!

The world’s No. 1 team doing what the world’s No. 1 team does best. The Boks’ kicking game to regain and score is next level — precision from the boot, relentless chasers winning the aerial battles, and a hunger for every scrap of possession. Their blend of defensive, contestable, and attacking kicks is executed as well as anyone in the game. This is no accident; it’s the product of relentless individual work. For the Boks, kicking isn’t relief. Kicking is attack.

For the first time ever, SA Rugby has announced an Under-16 Elite Player Development squad for girls, joining the boys from the same age group for a camp in Paarl early next month, in what is another huge boost for the local women’s game.

Never underestimate the value of self investment.

I had the incredible privilege of returning to my alma mater as a guest speaker. Back in my school days, we were never capped, but last night I was given that honor—making it an emotional and truly special occasion.

My talk was built around the theme “Dare to Dream”, with three key takeaways I believe are essential for growth:
1️⃣ Have a clear vision.
2️⃣ Get into the room—and stay in the room.
3️⃣ Never, ever give up. Resilience matters.

It was a dream to go back and share positivity at the very place that helped shape me. I’m always reminded of a mentor’s words: “When the lift reaches the top, send it back down.”

Grateful. Inspired. Blessed. 🙏

When the wall’s too high, smash through. When smashing fails, bend around. Australia teaching us the cat and mouse of the game. Man gotta love this game!🙌🏽🤝
