What former and current rugby players had to say following the retirement of Springbok great Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira.
Tendai Mtawarira: “I’ve been blessed to have been part of teams that achieved so much success over the years, and I have many memories to cherish forever, but I can honestly say that winning the RWC is the perfect ending.”
