Ox Nche smiled as he reeled off the desserts he had tasted during the Rugby World Cup in France following the semi-final win over England.
“I’ve had the caramel salted cheesecake, triple chocolate and a decent toffee cake,” the tighthead prop said gleefully after his key performance off the bench.
After his starring role in the England win, retailer Woolworths even offered Nche a year’s supply of chocolate cake. He grew up in a rural village between Bloemfontein and Lesotho and played for the University of Free State and was part of South Africa’s Baby Boks set-up in 2015, helping the side to third place in the world under-20s championship.“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.
