Description

Rumandi Potgieter, Ron & Adam's first professional rugby playing guest, sits down to chat to them about women in sport, studying International Law and her sporting goals, including her dream of playing in the upcoming Rugby World Cup 2021 in New Zealand. Born in Kwa-Zulu Natal and growing up in Limpopo (South Africa), ocean loving Rumandi previously played netball at university level and now plays rugby for the University of Pretoria and the Blue Bulls rugby club. 
Rugby is currently her primary focus and she speaks encouragingly about the future of women's rugby in South Africa, as well as throughout the world. Rumandi also chats about playing a 'typically' male sport and how there are increasing opportunities for females to take on the challenge of playing rugby, and surrounding one's self with powerful women - both physically and mentally.
