Alles het begin toe hy op elfjarige ouderdom bloot vir die pret rugby saam met maats in Genadendal gespeel het.<\/p>\n
Maar min het die 18-jarige Rodwin Beyers \u2013 \u2019n gr. 11-leerder aan die De la Batskool vir Dowes in Worcester \u2013 geweet sy liefde vir rugby en sy uitmuntende vertonings in latere jare op die veld sal rugby-kenners soos die voormalige Springbok-afrigter Peter de Villiers s\u00f3 be\u00efndruk dat dit hom \u2019n plek sal besorg in die span wat tans aan die Internasionale Dowerugby-7\u2019s-toernooi in Cordoba, Argentini\u00eb, deelneem. <\/p>\n
Die toernooi het gister (5 April) afgeskop en duur tot eerskomende Sondag.<\/p>\n
Di\u00e9 jong veelsydige sportman \u2013 die oudste van drie kinders \u2013 s\u00ea sy belangstelling in rugby het ontstaan omdat hy die sport gereeld saam met sy pa op televisie gevolg het. <\/p>\n
Rugby blyk in Rodwin se bloed te wees, want sy pa, Boon Fisher, was in sy dae ook \u2019n kranige rugbyspeler. <\/p>\n
Volgens Rodwin is die Stormers sy gunsteling-rugbyspan en hul Springbok Manie Libbok sy gunsteling-rugbyspeler.<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea hy bewonder Libbok omdat hy (Libbok) goeie vaardighede het.<\/p>\n
In ligter luim s\u00ea hy sy vriende is baie opgewonde, maar ook so \u2019n bietjie jaloers, omdat hy in Argentini\u00eb speel en hulle nie kon saamgaan nie.<\/p>\n
Volgens di\u00e9 jong man mis hy sy familie baie \u2013 veral omdat dit sy eerste oorsese besoek is. <\/p>\n
Kort voor sy vertrek was Rodwin lid van die span by \u2019n oefenkamp in Pretoria ter voorbereiding vir die toernooi in Argentini\u00eb. <\/p>\n
Pietjie van der Westhuizen, \u2019n onderwyser by De la Batskool gemoeid met sport, s\u00ea Rodwin se groot deurbraak het gekom toe De Villiers en Andy Daniel, die stigterslid van scrum5rugby.com, die skool verlede jaar genader het op soek na rugbytalent. <\/p>\n
Sy s\u00ea tydens \u2019n rugby-oefenkamp waarby alle dowes van Worcester en omgewing betrokke was, is \u2019n paar spelers ge\u00efdentifiseer.<\/p>\n
Hierna het \u2019n rits taai oefenkampe gevolg, waaraan Rodwin ook deelgeneem het. <\/p>\n
Volgens Van der Westhuizen is Rodwin vir die finale span gekies, wat op 9 Maart aangewys is.<\/p>\n
Sy s\u00ea die skool is \u201csuper trots\u201d op Rodwin. <\/p>\n
Benewens rugby blink Rodwin ook in atletiek uit.<\/p>\n
Hy was by die 2023-Wes-Kaapse LSEN-kampioenskap eerste in hoogspring en spiesgooi en het \u2019n tweede plek in verspring behaal. <\/p>\n
Hy het ook in 2022 \u2019n bronsmedalje in verspring by die Suid-Afrikaanse LSEN-atletiek-kampioenskap gewen. <\/p>\n
Maar dit eindig nie daar nie: Rodwin is ook sy skool se nommereen-tennisspeler. Voorts speel hy vlugbal vir die Expendables-vlugbalklub terwyl hy op sosiale vlak tafeltennis sowel as pluimbal speel. <\/p>\n
Marlize van der Merwe, Rodwin se afrigter, s\u00ea hy is \u2019n belowende, jong speler en boonop die jongste in die toergroep.<\/p>\n
Volgens haar het Rodwin baie goeie balvaardighede en spoed.<\/p>\n
Hy kan ook gapings goed identifiseer.<\/p>\n
Sy s\u00ea Rodwin is ingesluit as \u2019n senter en \u2019n vleuel en is \u2019n goeie besluitnemer op die veld. <\/p>\n
Rodwin se ma, Debra-Lee Groenewald, s\u00ea sy is baie trots op haar seun. <\/p>\n
Volgens haar het Rodwin haar volle ondersteuning.<\/p>\n
Sy s\u00ea sy hoop di\u00e9 geleentheid sal hom nog eendag ver bring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
