What happens when belief, hard work, and elite leadership collide?


In this episode of Lessons from the Game, Victor Matfield breaks down how the Bulls transformed from bottom feeders to Super Rugby champions. He shares legendary stories about Heineken Meyer’s dream, brutal off-seasons, player-led training blocks, and the iconic “umbrella” story that led to a 72-point Super Rugby victory.
