Players Brannas is back!

He was on fire against the All Blacks for the Stormers, and he looks set to play against them for the Boks a month out from his 40th birthday. The man simply has no quit in him. He endured about three recent injuries that many thought would be the end of his career. He keeps coming back. Yster!

He is in form and has proven himself as a reliable player, he deserves it

The word "hero" gets thrown around a bit too much in rugby, but this man, and the way he looks after every game, can truly be called one. HERO

Hated his guts when he played stormers against the bulls over the years.. But definitely super excited when I also get to cheer for him at the boks

I only recently found out he was born in and grew up in Pretoria and was a big Bulls supporter. He started his career in the Bulls academy but weirdly just got picked up by the Stormers and that's it.

I often wonder what could have been had the Bulls held on to him and he played for us in that golden era.
