Trevor Nyakane (1:13)

The Internet is on fire about Malcolm Marx.

Moose. Coming back to Pretoria or Durban.

Steven Kitshoff (1:20)

I think from Malcolm's point of view, I'm not too sure where I want to see him end up. I think Pretoria has a bit closer to home for him.

Durban's got all the money, which is quite amazing. But I don't know, Trev, do you want to see Malcolm end up in Durban?

Trevor Nyakane (1:35)

Who's currently the best rugby player in the world?

Steven Kitshoff (1:38)

Malcolm Marx.

Trevor Nyakane (1:39)

Exactly. So who wouldn't want that guy in their side?

Steven Kitshoff (1:47)

Trev, I shared a great time with fellow best-selling author Ches and Colby this week. And what a gentleman. And sometimes you think back and you know the guy for the brilliance of a rugby player is, but never known how much trouble he's actually gone through. And he's just been such a legend in doing the show with us and just sharing and opening up. Trev, what's your thoughts about Ches and Colby? You've worked together with him for many years now.

What's your take on Ches and Colby?

Trevor Nyakane (2:12)

He's such a brilliant, brilliant rugby player, as we all know, but we've spent a couple of times with him off the field and we know he's not as innocent as he looks on the field. He looks like a very, very quiet person when you just look at him, but he is really, really a fun person to be around, to have a joe with. He always has time to crack a joke, you know, with the fellas, so I remember when he was obviously still also in France, he always would come and speak, try and speak a little bit of French with us. Sometimes we did not understand the French, but he taught us a couple of things, which sometimes we can't really say on the show, but he is a really quite nice and fun guy to be around, actually, and a great teammate.

Steven Kitshoff (3:05)

And talking about great teammates, For The Love Of Rugby is brought to you by Pick&Pay ASAP. Get your essentials delivered fast, fresh and easy. And now is collect a Bok season. And here's my folder, Trev. Look at this thing. Spend 500 rand, swipe your Smart Chopper card and get your pack. I thought these cards inside these books are a bit small, Trev, but I've made us a couple of big ones.

Here's mine and yours, with the signature Tadhg.

Trevor Nyakane (3:39)

Tadhg out, you know. I can't wait for that moment to come back. Jeez, it's been a while.

SPEAKER_2 (3:44)

We get you back on the field.

Steven Kitshoff (3:45)

So also I see on the weight of your card, Trev, it says 110 kilos, so...

Trevor Nyakane (3:53)

No, no, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Steven Kitshoff (3:55)

I'm going to maybe use a little bit of a tip, a tip there and what's it currently?

SPEAKER_1 (4:00)

180? I think it's the opposite.

Trevor Nyakane (4:06)

Yeah, at this point in time, we had 122, my friend.

Steven Kitshoff (4:09)

Ah, there we go.

Trevor Nyakane (4:10)

We had one solid 122 I've been rocking around the gym for so long. It has to be a solid one. It can't just be, you know, a fatty one. So, it's looking quite good.

Lots of protein and lots of gym.

Steven Kitshoff (4:29)

No, a lot of protein, a lot of gym.

And yeah, remember to take your vitamin C's because both myself and Trevor's feeling a little bit under the weather today. But that's not going to stop us from creating a lucky episode. And on the topic of chasing Colby, we know he's going to come back in a couple of weeks and rejoin the Stormers. He's in Cape Town. He's playing his rugby at Cape Town. But with Rassie naming his squad for November and the November test matches in a few days, I always see that injury and the injuries we've been seeing over the last week in the URC affect that team selection.
