JP Pietersen: Springboks career & 2007 Rugby World Cup Winner
In this episode of Front Row Rugby Springbok Rugby legend and 2007 Rugby World Cup winner JP Pietersen discusses his glittering career in which he won the World Cup, Tri-Nations and beat the British and Irish Lions. Pietersen was named after Welsh legend JPR Williams and chronicles his career from his debut to the highs and lows, including the 2015 Rugby World Cup defeat to Japan, and how the Springboks might have won the 2011 Rugby World Cup in an alternative scenario. JP also shares a funny story about how his boarding pass was hidden from him in a practical joke.

Peter says: I love the Springboks and rugby is one of my favourite sports. Although as a sports journalist I am supposed to remain neutral, I always like to point out that before I became a professional, I was just a big fan! I hold a Masters Degree in International Journalism so at least you know I should be able to ask a good question or two! My dream is to do this YouTube Channel permanently.
