All Blacks legendary hooker Keven Mealamu is enjoying his best soft life in South Africa ahead of rugby’s greatest rivalry. Undoubtedly one of the few legends who know what it means to play against the Springboks, Keven has explained it all.
During his playing days, he was such a tough hooker and fought a lot with the Springboks on the pitch. Back then, the All Blacks dominated world rugby, but today, it is a different story as the Springboks have taken over.
However, the rivalry between these two teams has failed to separate the players and fans from the sport. Captains, Siya Kolisi and Ardie Savea, led by example, going to church together over the weekend.
Surely, it was a wonderful gesture, but the All Blacks legend Mealamu is enjoying himself in the countryside.
