Remembering Cornal Hendricks: The Bok who defied all odds

Loading player...
On this week's 'To The Last Drop' hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme pay tribute to Springbok and Bulls utility back Cornal Hendricks who passed away this week. Hendricks was a much loved character, as full of life as he was fight. A poor upbringing and a potentially life threatening medical condition did not stand in the way of the dreams. Even after his Test days were numbered he continued to play with his infectious, characteristic smile.

The episode also delves into the Lions failure at reaching the United Rugby Championship quarterfinals for the fourth straight year.

The hosts close the show with predictions for the final round of league matches in the URC.
