What do you like about False Bay?
It's a family
Why the Bay?
When I started my rugby out at UCT, legends like Ash 'conserve' Wells, Wes Chetty and Snoopy were the guys I started senior rugby with. So why not end it with them?
What attracted you to the Bay and what keeps you here?
The whole False Bay vibe, the family safe environment that caters for everyone. But most importantly it's my being able to play rugby with a great bunch of guys who enjoy playing the game
Best Bay rugby moment?
Captaining the winning 2nd XV side against both Maties(home) and and Hammies(away) last year!
