Cake-loving Nche hopes for sweet taste of success in Rugby World Cup final
Springbok loosehead Ox Nche has sampled his fair share of just 'desserts' at the Rugby World Cup in France.
Of the six completed scrums during Nche's time on the field, the Boks claimed four penalties including Handre Pollard's match-winning shot at goal that sealed the nail-biting 16-15 win. The bearded Nche missed the Rugby Championship before returning for pre-tournament warm-ups against Wales and New Zealand and has featured in all of the holders' World Cup fixtures.
"I have been fortunate enough to coach him ever since I think he was 18 years old," South Africa scrum coach Daan Human said on Monday."I think from 28 to 32, as a front-row player, that is when you are getting into your prime," he added.Nche, who weighs a muscle-packed 123kg , made his Test debut under Rassie Erasmus in 2018 and has gone on to make 27 appearances.
