RASSIE+ | Os du Randt on Power, Props & the Bomb Squad Before It Had a Name

from Rassie+ · host Smash Sports

In this episode of Rassie+, Rassie sits down with the legendary big man of South African rugby, Os du Randt — the man fans have been begging to see on the show. Os opens up about how he earned his iconic nickname, his role in what many call the "original Bomb Squad," back in 2005 and the unconventional (and hilarious) ways his father toughened him up for the front row — including carrying heavy loads and literally having to stand on his head to make his neck strong. It's a raw, funny, and inspiring chat with one of South African rugby’s most loved figures.
