WHO WE ARE

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago there was a little boy who heard a rugby game on the radio. The child was intrigued by his dad's animated reaction to the events on the radio and became excited himself, not really knowing why. He soon was hooked on this Saturday ritual in front of the radio and became as animated and passionate about the game of rugby as his dad was.

He grew up (as we all have to do, eventually) but retained his child-like fascination of rugby.

That is the story of both André Gouws and Etienne Marais, the creators of RWC.co.za - today both of them slightly overgrown and fanatical rugby supporters. Working together has its problems, as they support opposing Super 14 teams - but hey, this web site is for the greater good.

RWC.co.za is the culmination of all the years of highs and lows, exhilaration and depression caused by this game of fully grown men fighting over an oval-shaped ball. We hope that we can enhance your rugby enjoyment and knowledge on this site and that if you are not so passionate about rugby yet, you will still become so.
