I am a Rugby News Writer for Planet Rugby, which entails me covering news stories and writing feature content of professional rugby at international and club levels for both the southern and northern hemispheres.

My day-to-day responsibilities involve providing quality and timely content under pressure with a particular focus on Test tournaments like the World Cup, Rugby Championship and Six Nations as well as club competitions such as the United Rugby Championship, Super Rugby Pacific and Premiership.

Since joining Planet Rugby in 2011, I have covered the aforementioned content on a daily basis while also attending press events and live matches occasionally to produce stories, reports and other features.

Prior to my tenure at Planet Rugby, I started out my journalism career as a sports reporter at Independent Newspapers in South Africa where I worked for their Cape Argus and Cape Community Newspapers titles.

I was born and raised in Cape Town and graduated from Cape Town Academy with a diploma in Journalism.
