From the Land of the Tsunami to the Pressure Cooker of EP Rugby
Ahead of their match in Vanderbijlpark against the Falcons on Friday starting at 3:00 pm EP Rugby welcomed one of our own back to the fold. Wayne van Heerden jetted into Port Elizabeth a scant 10 days before the terrible tsunami struck Japan on 11 March 2010. Wayne had just spent two years playing rugby in Japan for the Suntory team alongside the likes of George Gregan. Wayne's team, Suntory Sungoliath beat Sanyo Wild Knights 37 - 20 to clinch a win in the 48th All Japan Championship … [Read more...] about From the Land of the Tsunami to the Pressure Cooker of EP Rugby
