The Hidden Struggle of Being 130kg in Rugby

Everyone thinks being big is a massive advantage in rugby


and yes, it is — but nobody talks about the burden that comes with it.

When you’re 120–130kg:

you still need to run like the guys 20kg lighter,

you have zero special treatment,

and every training day hits you twice as hard.

This is the reality of big forwards that most fans don’t see.

The ONE Skill That Gets Young Players Noticed

If you want to get noticed as a young player, stop trying to be good at everything.

Find one or two things you can dominate — every single game.

Props, backs, doesn’t matter.

When coaches see something that’s way above average, they know they can build the rest.

Master your superpower → everything else grows.

South Africa vs France — a special day.

Even though I’m no longer on the field, days like today still stir something deep inside me.
It’s strange — my body feels the same nerves and tension as if I were preparing to play tonight.
The same routine seems to kick in
 even though my mind knows I won’t be out there.

It’s as if a part of me hasn’t switched off yet. Maybe it never will.

Both national anthems tonight will be emotional — one reminds me of where I come from, and the other of everything I’ve built and given here in France.

To all the players on both sides: good luck 🙌
Enjoy every moment — you’re representing something bigger than yourselves.

One of my first memories of rugby is scoring my very first try 🏉

I can still see my parents on the sideline — the smiles, the excitement, the pride.

As a young boy, I thought: “When I do this
 they react like that.”

That feeling never left me.

Doing something you love, and seeing it bring joy to others — that’s what I loved most about the game.

And funny enough
 in this new chapter of my life, it’s exactly the same feeling again.

Speaking, connecting, sharing stories, seeing those same smiles — it’s my new version of scoring a try.

Thanks to everyone who was part of this event 🙏

đŸ‡«đŸ‡· Version française:

L’un de mes premiers souvenirs de rugby, c’est le moment oĂč j’ai marquĂ© mon tout premier essai 🏉

Je revois encore mes parents au bord du terrain — leurs sourires, leur fiertĂ©.

En tant que petit garçon, je me suis dit: “Quand je fais ça, ils rĂ©agissent comme ça.”

Et cette sensation ne m’a jamais quittĂ©.

Faire ce qu’on aime et voir que ça crĂ©e de la joie chez les autres — c’est ce que j’aimais le plus dans le sport.

Aujourd’hui, dans cette nouvelle Ă©tape de ma vie, je ressens la mĂȘme chose.

Parler, Ă©changer, partager des histoires, voir ces sourires — c’est ma nouvelle façon de “marquer un essai.”

Merci Ă  tous ceux qui ont participĂ© Ă  cet Ă©vĂ©nement 🙏

Retirement announcement 🏉

English 🇬🇧
After many years on the field, it is time to close this chapter.

Rugby was not just my career, it was my only dream, my whole life. Choosing to stop after multiple concussions has been the hardest decision I’ve ever made. For a long time, I tried to hold on, because when you’ve lived one dream, it’s frightening to imagine life beyond it. But I’ve come to accept it, and even find comfort.

I thank the coaches who believed in me, especially those who shaped me as a young man. I thank my family, above all my wife, for walking every step of this road with me. And to the supporters who have followed me from South Africa to France. I carry your voices with me.

The victories, the struggles, the lessons, I wouldn’t change any of it. It made me the man I am today.

One dream ends, but the man it shaped remains.

Français đŸ‡«đŸ‡·
AprÚs toutes ces années sur le terrain, il est temps pour moi de tourner la page.

Le rugby n’a jamais Ă©tĂ© juste un mĂ©tier pour moi, c’était mon rĂȘve d’enfant, ma passion, ma vie. ArrĂȘter aprĂšs plusieurs commotions a Ă©tĂ© une dĂ©cision trĂšs difficile. J’ai longtemps essayĂ© de continuer, parce que quand on n’a vĂ©cu que pour une seule chose, c’est effrayant d’imaginer la vie sans. Mais aujourd’hui, j’ai trouvĂ© la paix avec cette dĂ©cision.

Je veux remercier tous les entraĂźneurs que j’ai croisĂ©s, surtout ceux qui m’ont marquĂ© quand j’étais jeune. Je veux aussi remercier ma famille, et en particulier ma femme, pour avoir toujours Ă©tĂ© lĂ , dans les bons comme dans les mauvais moments. Et merci aux supporters qui m’ont suivi depuis l’Afrique du Sud jusqu’en France. Votre soutien a comptĂ© plus que vous ne l’imaginez.

Les victoires comme les Ă©preuves m’ont construit, et c’est grĂące Ă  elles que je suis devenu l’homme que je suis aujourd’hui.

Un rĂȘve s’achĂšve, mais l’homme qu’il a façonnĂ© demeure ❀
