Komende tijd ligt zowel de Ereklasse als de Futureklasse stil ivm de interlands van Oranje. Uiteraard is er genoeg te vertellen over de teams, dus zullen we per week een (of meerdere) speler(s) uitlichten om hen wat beter te leren kennen. De mannen hebben zelf een vragenlijst voorgeschoteld gekregen en mogen hier zelf een keuze te maken welke zij graag willen beantwoorden.

Vandaag is het tijd voor een van onze hookers: Taffy Kahembe!

What is your secret tip to improve your rugby skills and which exercise?
Not the answer you want to hear but it’s all about how bad you want it and if you are willing to put in the work or not. There are no shortcuts. Keep training and always give 100% especially the days you don’t feel like it.

What position would you also love to play and why?
The position I would love to (also) be able to play is wing because my second name is speed or atleast I call myself that. Fortunately or unfortunately you won’t find me on the wing any time soon. I’ve heard it’s not as fun when it’s a cold rainy day, I’d rather have a cuddle in the front row and stay warm!


From which coach/player have you learnt the most and why?
In my senior career I’d have to give credit to Hadley and Mike Panoho as they have helped me understand the game at a more technical level but it has to be my first ever coach Michael Lanken. He instilled the fearless mentality in me and to embrace the painful side of the game. His famous words were “Never fear your opponent, he bleeds just like you! You either get hit or do the hitting, you choose”
