Dan Du Plessis

Daniël Michael du Plessis (born 17 March 1995) is a South African rugby union player for the Stormers in Super Rugby. His regular position is centre. Quotes I wouldn't say it's pressure, but it's more of an honour to represent the family name if you want to put it that way, There is obviously a rich history in the Du Plessis family, I've taken what I can from my dad and family and tried to put that on the field. As usual, the body is quite sore on a Monday, but as the week goes on it tends to recover, a bit slower the older you get. But I am not yet at that stage where Deon Fourie and those guys are I was lucky to be on the better side of those collisions in the Bulls match. I think the one with Johan (Goosen) was more a rugby collision than anything The whole team put everything into that quarter-final and we are proud of that performance. We are looking forward to this weekend. I get a lot of confidence from him and hopefully he gets from me as well His personality on the field gives the other guys in the backline confidence, especially on defence with the way he goes for reads and the way he communicates, it helps me a lot. Our structure allows for freedom. It is difficult to explain, but we (the backline players) go hand-in-hand. The structure allows for guys to fill in at any position when needed.
