We kick this episode off with a powerful chat as Vernon Matongo joins us on Behind The Ruck.
Vernon opens up about life at the Stormers, what the environment is really like, and how his journey from childhood dreams to professional rugby unfolded. He shares the story of his early road in the game, the role his family played in shaping his career, and why putting studies first, including playing in the Varsity Cup, was a crucial step before going pro.

We also dive into his rugby ambitions, the heroes he looked up to growing up, and what continues to drive him at the highest level.
