Baie slegte nuus ontvang, groot vriend en Cheetahs en Shimla rugby man het sy laaste skrum verloor. Dougie Heymans is oorlede. Innige simpatie aan Ilse en gesin in hierdie uiters moeilike tyd. Bid dat die Vader besrusting en vertroosting sal bring. My trane loop n legend weg

Saddened by the passing of @CheetahsRugby Scrum Legend, Dougie Heymans. I looked up to him as a youngster and appreciated the time he took with me, coming through the ranks.

Remember scrumming against him in training. It felt like I hit a brick wall
