Elton Jantjies admits his Rugby World Cup winner’s medal is as heavy as a gong.
The mantle and responsibility of being a World Cup winner‚ however‚ doesn’t weigh him down‚ especially now as he is being touted as the Lions next captain.
"Siya and I are also close on the field. I see the picture. It shouldn’t change my game‚” said Jantjies‚ who captained Florida High School in his matric year. Although the Boks will be forgiven for feeling on top of the world‚ Jantjies is also endowed with a sense of reality. "A big thing for me is to know the people around me and making sure I make them look better. Make them look comfortable and confident.”
