Quotes When I first came to England, I never knew how long I was going to stay and in my first year I was a bit nervous about whether I’d get contracted again But once Chris Boyd arrived, along with our scrum coach Matt Ferguson, I stayed and they’ve helped me a lot. At Western Force I had injury after injury and only managed 20 games in four years, so mentally I was at a stage where I couldn’t deal with it. But coming to Saints has been the best thing ever for my career and I’ve played a lot of games in my three years so far. Ferg (Matt Ferguson) has played a massive role in that and I’ve changed a lot of stuff in the way I scrummage. I used to be a bit old-school – the South African way if you like – but with the Saints pack we need to be technically very good in order to compete. We’re normally known as a smaller pack so on that technical side Ferg’s been influential, and I need to acknowledge my teammate Alex Waller as well because he’s also played a massive part in my development. Competition is good and going into nine league games, hopefully making the play-offs and with Europe as well, rotation is quite key for us at Saints.
