This week on Behind the Ruck, we kick things off by announcing the winners of our Eben Etzebeth’s “Unlocked” book giveaway before diving straight into the latest fixtures and results shaking up the rugby world. Rudy and Juan share their takes on the upcoming clashes, standout players to watch, and which teams are finding their rhythm as the season heats up.
Then, we sit down with none other than Nizaam Carr, a player whose journey through rugby has been filled with resilience and inspiration. From representing the Bulls and adapting to a new coach, to his time with the London Wasps and dealing with the challenges of retrenchment, Nizaam opens up about the realities of professional rugby and the mindset it takes to keep moving forward.
He also reflects on his early career with the Stormers and Springboks, and what it meant to make history as the first Muslim Springbok. Nizaam speaks candidly about the role of faith in his life, the fine line between luck and hard work, and how he balances confidence without arrogance. Wrapping up, he shares touching stories about his roots in Mitchells Plain, the guidance of his father, and his heartfelt advice to the next generation chasing their rugby dreams.
