From the importance of discipline to leading South Africa through one of rugby’s toughest transitional eras, Corné reflects on:


  • The life-changing influence of Nelson Mandela.
  • Why discipline is the foundation of success on and off the field.
  • How being “too small” forced him to play with unmatched aggression.
  • The leadership values that carried him through the hardest moments.



Corné’s story goes beyond rugby — it’s about resilience, values, and leadership that apply in sport, business, and life.
