Former Falcons and Welwitschias winger Johan Corné ‘JC’ Greyling belongs to the elite group of players who represented Namibia at three different Rugby World Cups. The self-proclaimed Okahandja-born fitness fanatic, who grew up in Klerksdorp, South Africa, used to play club rugby for Kempton Park-based Falcons. “I started playing rugby at quite a relatively young age with the Bulletjie rugby club.
I later went to Meiringspark Primary School from where I attended Klerksdorp High School, where I played as an outside centre,” he says. He says he loved playing that position.
