#rudypaige #juandejongh #behindtheruckpodcast #southafricapodcast #rugby In this episode, we sit down with South African rugby legends Rudy Paige and Juan de Jongh to dive into their incredible journeys both on and off the field. We chat about their childhood dreams of becoming professional rugby players, the honor of playing for South Africa, and the unforgettable memories of the iconic Newlands Stadium. We debate Cape Town vs. Joburg fans, the joys (and frustrations) of playing golf, and what it's like to balance rugby life with raising children. We also tackle the controversial topic of South Africans supporting New Zealand, reflect on the role of faith and religion in their careers, and discuss the resilience needed to overcome challenges, prove doubters wrong, and rise above as the ultimate underdogs.
