Springbok Jaden Hendrikse: Hero, Villain … or Just a Joker?

Loading player...
On Saturday, while playing in the URC, Springbok scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse caused a stir when he winked at Munster opponent Jack Crowley. Hendrikse was on the ground receiving treatment for an injured calf. But Crowley's space was occupied with him being next up in a kicking competition. Was Hendrikse really injured? Was this gamesmanship? Well according to some, the Sharks man is a villain and a disgrace. Others hail him as a hero. Still there are those who complain that this goes against rugby values. In this episode Peter addresses the Jaden Hendrikse matter head-on but also delves into the history of skullduggery in rugby and points out that these rugby values are actually just some made-up nonsense.
