In this frank and open discussion, Smit shares what it was like to play for the Springboks, even though it was just one solitary Test match. FC also takes us behind the scenes and you’ll discover what it was really like being an amateur rugby player in those days. Smit shares the good, the bad and the funny with us in this captivating discussion.
