Slegs twee jaar gelede het Canan Moodie nog by die Ho\u00ebr Landbouskool Boland agter die skoolbanke gesit. Die afgelope paar dae het di\u00e9 jong Bolander egter as \u2019n nasionale held uitgestyg n\u00e1 sy pragdrie in die Springboktrui teen SA se aartsvyande, die Wallabies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moodie het Saterdag sy buiging in die groen-en-goud gemaak, en op net 19-jarige ouderdom maak dit hom die derde jongste Bok nog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En Saterdag was daar nie \u2019n dro\u00eb oog onder die Moodie-familie van die Paarl en hul vriende nie toe Canan in sy Springboktrui op die veld in Sydney uitdraf en met die hand styf teen die bors die volkslied sing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar toe hy daardie wonder-drie gaan druk, het \u2019n uitbarsting van trots behoorlik deur die strate van Paarl-Oos weergalm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens \u2019n telefoniese onderhoud vandeesweek met Canan se ma, Chantel, kan \u2019n mens net hoor hoe bars sy steeds van trots oor haar seun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToe Canan my op 8 Augustus bel en s\u00ea hy is vir die Springbokspan opgeroep, kon ek dit nie glo nie. Ek het eers gewonder of ek reg gehoor het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaar ek kan nie in woorde beskryf hoe dit gevoel het om hom Saterdag uiteindelik in sy Springboktrui op die veld te sien uitdraf nie, en dan nog daardie wonderlike drie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moodie se posisionele spel was Saterdag puik en hy het sy direkte teenstander, die Wallabies se Marika Koroibete, wat die Bokke die vorige week met sy aanvallende spel laat bontstaan het, geen ruimte gegee nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kersie op die koek was egter Moodie se puik drie kort voor rustyd, wat die rugbyw\u00eareld laat regop sit het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moodie het \u2019n hangskop van die Springbok-skrumskakel, Jaden Hendrikse, briljant reg voor Koroibete se neus weggeraap en is doellyn toe sonder dat \u2019n Wallaby naby hom kon kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moodie, wat in die Paarl gebore is, was op Klein Boishaai waarna hy self gekies het om sy ho\u00ebrskoolloopbaan by Boland Landbou voort te sit nadat bykans elke vooraanstaande rugbyskool in die land hom aanbiedinge gegee het om vir hulle rugby te speel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het vinnig tot die o.16A-rugbyspan gevorder, waarna hy vir Landbou se eerstes uitgedraf het. Hy het ook \u2019n plek in die WP-Akademieweek losgespeel, en in gr. 11 en gr. 12 is hy ook in die o.19A-span opgeneem, wat \u2019n groot prestasie op sy ouderdom was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het in 2020 gematrikuleer en in 2021 amptelik by die Bulle aangesluit, waar hy groot vordering gemaak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boland Landbou se hoof van rugby, Oloff Bergh, het ges\u00ea die skool is ongelooflik trots op hom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie skool se WhatsApp-groepe was ongelooflik besig n\u00e1 daardie drie van hom. Ons het nooit gedink hy gaan so vroeg \u2019n Springbok word nie, maar ons het geweet hy het die potensiaal om eendag professioneel rugby te speel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bergh het ges\u00ea Moodie is \u2019n spanspeler, werk ongelooflik hard, is baie nederig en is bereid om te leer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is eienskappe wat jy nodig het om dit op die hoogste vlak te maak. Op skool was Canan nie net \u2019n goeie rugbyspeler nie, maar hy het ook op akademiese gebied uitgeblink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is dankbaar vir die geleentheid wat die Bulle hom gegee het en bly hy is by Jake White, wat weet hoe om met jong talent te werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wens Canan net die beste vir die toekoms toe en glo hy gaan nog baie toetse vir SA speel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is dus duidelik dat alle o\u00eb op die jong Paarliet, wie se rugbyloopbaan maar net in die beginstadium is, gaan wees.. <\/span>Springbok \u2018wonder-kid\u2019 Canan Moodie has become an overnight rugby sensation after his \u2018out the books\u2019 try against the Wallabies on Saturday. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Slegs twee jaar gelede het Canan Moodie nog by die Ho\u00ebr Landbouskool Boland agter die skoolbanke gesit.
