Hulle gee met elke wedstryd hul alles en is behoorlik soos die drie musketiers \u2013 waar die een is, is die ander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tyron Strauss, Benley Cloete en Warrick Williams is die drie kaalvoet-rugbyspelers van Grabouw wat nou letterlik die hele dorp met hul rugbytalent op hol het. Al is di\u00e9 drie leerders van die Laerskool Lochnerhof in die Strand, woon hulle in Grabouw en maak die dorp baie trots, want al drie is tydens die Willie le Roux-rugbyfees gekies om hul skool, dorp en land by \u2019n internasionale toernooi in Itali\u00eb en Frankryk te gaan verteenwoordig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Niks in die lewe is egter verniet nie en vir di\u00e9 drie kan die droom om hul land te gaan verteenwoordig aan skerwe l\u00ea aangesien hulle elkeen geld moet insamel om deel van die toernooi te wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs jy die drie leerders soos ek ken, kan ek met vrymoedigheid s\u00ea hulle verdien dit om daar te gaan speel. Hulle gee hul alles \u2013 nie net op die sportveld nie, maar alles wat hulle aanpak. En wat hulle nog meer geliefd maak, is die feit dat hulle so nederig is en goeie maniere het,\u201d vertel Elzaan Kark, in beheer van die geldinsamelingsprojek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens lootjieverkope Saterdag in hul tuisdorp Grabouw het hulle self \u2013 geklee in hul rugbytruie \u2013 die strate aangedurf om geld in te samel. Vir R100 het deelnemers die kans om \u2019n geslagte lam, wyne en ander geskenkpakkies te wen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir di\u00e9 jong kaalvoetseuns is rugby alles \u2013 hulle eet, slaap en droom rugby. Op \u2019n vraag wat hulle graag eendag wil word, het almal in een asem ges\u00ea: \u201cprofessionele rugbyspelers\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 13-jariges vertel hulle werk hard in die skool en wil net so graag akademies uitblink as wat hulle op die rugbyveld presteer. \u201cMy gunsteling-vak is Afrikaans,\u201d vertel Tyron baie trots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benley vertel sy gunsteling-vak is Engels terwyl Warrick weer van wiskunde hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tyron, wat vleuel of senter speel, kyk op na die Springbok-speler Kurtley Arendse. \u201cHy sien \u2019n \u2018gap<\/span>\u2019 en vat dit. Ek hou nie net van hom as rugbyspeler nie, maar ook as mens. Hy is beslis iemand na wie almal kan opkyk,\u201d vertel Tyron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy gunstelingrugbyspeler is die Nieu-Seelandse agtsteman Ardie Savea. Met elke wedstryd sit hy alles in,\u201d s\u00ea Benley wat agtsteman of flank speel. Warrick kyk veral op na Beauden Barrett, ook \u2019n Nieu-Seelandse rugbyspeler, wat tuis is in elke posisie in die agterlyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vir nog inligting oor die lootjieverkope of om geld te skenk om die rugbyspelers se drome te verwesenlik, bel Elzaan by 071 676 9588..<\/span> Grabouw pronk met nog rugbyspelers wat die dorp trots maak. In 2022 is Dalvon Blood en Charlton Banies gekies om die junior Springbokspan te gaan verteenwoordig en vanjaar is dit Michail Damon se beurt. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hulle
