My first match (against Rondebosch). Getting under the ruck. Apparently I sucked my thumb, much to mum's embarrassment.
Mum coming to watch all my matches, come rain or shine.
Having a long bath after a match.
Playing lock in the earlier days. Later I moved to flank.
Orange segments at half time.
A rugby tour to Port Elizabeth.
Being trained by David Mallet, Jenny and Nick Mallet's brother.
Being trained by Spencer King. Running up and down the hill. Spencer often yelled so loudly, the local neighbours complained. Practice tackling of the biggest boy in the team.
Scoring a try against a really tough team. I was the only member in the team to score a try that day.
Playing ill. Spencer was impressed.
Winning an award for "Most improved rugby player".
In my later years at school, I did not play rugby due to Scheuermann's disease. I was sad at the time but in retrospect, it was the right decision. Thank you mum!
