Quotes When I go there, I would thank those who helped me along the way, gave guidance and advice and just supported me in chasing my dream. It is just sinking in, how much it means if people put their trust in you and you can reward them The folks there actually joked that I will become the town's first Springbok and now it has happened I was in tears last year for not being called onto the field, but on Sunday, those memories were wiped out when I finally ran onto the field. Suddenly, all the blood, sweat and tears made sense to me.Looking back now, it actually made me stronger and more determined to prove that I can play at this level. The fact that I benched last year helped a bit with the emotions when we sang the anthem actually – I knew what was coming It was such a great feeling and relief when I ran onto the field.By that time, I was in the game and really expressing and enjoying myself. The crowd was hectic, but soon I hardly noticed them as I was in the game. Relief as Hanekom's Test dream finally comes true,SA RUGBY, May 29, 2023.
