How do you chill? - Watching Super Rugby and having a couple of cold ones with friends or family
What is it about the Bay that inspires you? - The family environment, it's something that can't be explained. If you join False Bay and get to experience the vibe and GEES, be warned because you will find it almost impossible moving on to any other club.
Who at False Bay inspires you? - Each and every player, coach and member of the club. They are all committed and literally give their all to the Bay.
What do you do to relax or what are your interests outside of rugby? - If I don't play rugby...I like to watch rugby and a couple of cold ones will obviously always be welcomed as well.
Which club do you enjoy playing against and why? - I enjoy every game...but for some reason playing against the top rated sides like Maties, Hammies and Durbell always gets me going just that extra bit.
What is your Dream Sports event, one you would most like to attend? - I think as a spectator the Vegas and Hong Kong 7s should be amazing and then of course a WC final.
Who is your funniest team mate? - Definitely Vlam
Training: love it or Hate it? - Hate the fact that I love it...
