@watsenaam@Oom_Rugby Your memory is great, except Akha and Mister are 2 separate people! Akha is at Tuks. He spent the past 3 years at the Bulls. You should hopefully see him soon in the Varsity Cup. Mister is playing for our club, Connect NTK.
Stormers coach John Dobson says hooker Lukhanyo โBoepaโ Vokozela has earned his first start for Sundayโs Investec Champions Cup clash against Harlequins. https://t.co/NEDcgofDJv
@ConnectNPC You nearly had two ex-students scoring the winning try in yesterday's derby, Haashim Pead did it in Durban and Lukhanyo Vokozela moved the ball to Ntuthuko Mchunu in the driving mall just before Ntuthuko scored that one. ๐คฃ
Yesterday was a special day for all of us at Connect.
One of our original Khayelitsha players, Lukhanyo Vokozela, made his URC debut for the @StormersRugby.
Coach John Dobson spoke about his journey at the post-match press conference. Thanks to @MarcoJacobsZA for the footage.
