Returning to his home base of Cape Town has helped Stormers lock Marvin Orie establish himself as a prominent figure in the Springbok set-up.
Orie started his career in the Western Province youth structures but then spent the formative years in Gauteng, turning out for the Bulls and the Lions. He decided to go back to his home province in 2020, joining the Stormers.
“It was fantastic to be involved with the Stormers and go all the way. A lot of people, including some of us, didn't think we could do it,” said Orie. “For me to be involved in the national team is an honour and privilege. There are many guys that have not had the chance. I'm just taking it day by day and doing my best to contribute to the team,” he said.
