The Incredible Deon Fourie Story: Springboks Hooker, Flanker and Oldest Debutant Ever

For The Love Of Rugby: South Africa

Show Notes

Deon Fourie played 77 minutes in a World Cup final, when nobody gave him a chance of being there. His story is remarkable, so it's time for him to sit down with Steven Kitshoff in Cape Town to go through it.

Trevor Nyakane is sick, but he's a warrior, so he's dialling in from Durban where he's spent the week in bed. Stormers fans - you'll love this one as well.
