A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME
HIS hulking presence and pulsating power on the rugby field may have earned him the nickname Beast but at home he’s more placid pussycat than wild animal – a gentle giant if ever there was one.
Tendai Mtawarira unlaced his rugby boots and packed away his Bok jerseys in 2019 after 11 years on pitches around the world and life is very different for the once-formidable prop now.
He’s spending more time at home than he has in over a decade and his family couldn’t be happier.
“My kids had to pace themselves when they realised Daddy is actually home for a consecutive number of days,” he says.
