I was born in Paris, France and grew up in Pretoria, South Africa. I've been a sports fan since I can remember and I enjoy watching any sport except boxing, golf and bowls. My favorite sports are rugby union, cricket and formula 1. That is why I joined Bleacher Report. I've always wanted to make my voice heard regarding important sports issues and events. I think sports are important because it shows off talented people and their efforts and achievements always inspire me. I played rugby union and cricket myself while still in school. I also have very fond memories of going to a rugby or cricket game with my friends and family.
