There will be a very special father and son reunion in the Vodacom URC this weekend as John and Taine Plumtree find themselves in opposing camps.
If things had worked out differently, they could have been together at the Hollywoodbets Sharks as coach John was keen to bring his boy over to Durban from New Zealand.
“It is going to be quite a cool occasion for us. It will be a nice family affair with him upstairs and me down on the pitch. “He’s never been one to push me to do something because it’s what he wanted me to do, it’s always what I wanted. “I know he was a bit of a rangy loose forward, so I probably wouldn’t say I’m too far away from him. I would say I’m a bit better though! He probably wouldn’t agree!”
“I am really proud of him. He is loving it at the Scarlets. He loves the Welsh people and he is happy. So if he’s happy, I’m happy.” “In terms of where I am in my career, I don’t think I’m ready for that just yet. I want all my achievements to be on my own merits.”
