In this candid conversation with Siv, the former Springbok Captain reflects on the silver lining of his injury effected career, dealing with and implementing change, mentorship and the privilege of playing for his country.

Quotes from Jean's interview with Siv Ngesi:

+ "You learn through the losses"
+ "However you think life will pan out it won't happen the way you think it will"
+ "I don't just wanna be Jean de Villiers the former rugby player, I want to define myself as something else too"
+ "I'm extremely privileged to have played a minute part in Siya's story".
+ "Sports speaks to us in a different way"
+ "It's probably the first World Cup where we feel the whole country is behind the team."
+ "Change is constant. Change is needed for people to develop."
+ "No one has ever led just by doing nothing"
