    CSBrent - I see you hail from the Eastern Cape . The
    whole Southern Spears debacle has highlighted
    the eternal plight of Eastern Province rugby - bad
    management. Was this a factor in deciding where
    to play your rugby after school?
    BRDefinitely not. Infact rugby wasn’t even a deciding
    factor when exploring other avenues of higher
    learning. I was accepted into UCT and that was
    that.
    CSYou made your mark as a Sevens player before
    you got selected for the 15 man code. What was
    the highlight of that phase of your career?
    BRI only began playing rugby from Std 6 and so it
    was the 15 man game that I had always enjoyed.
    When I got selected for the 7’s it was like an eye
    opener. The game is so fast and explosive that it
    took me a while to catch the hang of it. I have
    always enjoyed the pace at which it’s played. I’ve
    never been so fit like I was during my short 7’s
    career. One of my fondest memories was playing
    against the “little magician” Waisele Serevi. CSYou are one of the fastest and elusive rugby

    things - such as time with loved ones, or possibly affect your rugby career?
    a girlfriend? BRI grew up alongside a sporting field watching my
    BRPlaying professional rugby is not at all glamorous folks play sport. I guess I got my sporting genes
    as it may look. It is a very demanding career if from the folks who have always been actively
    you wanting to make it the whole way. The rugby involved in various sports. I began playing football

    players and the coaching staff. Last year I was really identified my strong points in my game until
    away from home for a total of 6 months. If that I was in my early 20’s.
