He’s walked the high streets of Paris, experienced the glitz and glamour of Tokyo, and captured the beauty of southern France, but for Frans Steyn, Bloemfontein is still best | By jacq_west IOLSport

After 15 years of being on the road, Steyn is back “home” in the city that moulded him into a player who would go on to win World Cup winner’s medals in 2007 and 2019.

He and his teammates only recently returned to proper on-field training following a four-month suspension of all sport, following the outbreak of Covid-19. “I’ve obviously been back to Bloemfontein over the years with the Springboks and when I was at the Sharks, but this is a little more permanent. I’ve got kids now who need to go to school.

So far Steyn has played 67 Tests for the Springboks and may well add to that number next year when the British & Irish Lions visit.“We need to play again,” said Steyn. “I hope it happens soon. I think we all need a boost.”
