Like father, like son: Springbok, Jacques Potgieter’s son receives his first rugby medal

At only 5-years-old, Jacques Potgieter's son is already turning into a sports star like his dad.


When the time came to hand out talents for sports, Jacques Potgieter and Angelique Gerber’s son was clearly first in line. The 5-year-old seems to be a natural, evidently doing his dad proud.

“First medal for the little champ,” the Springbok wrote in a post shared on Instagram where he proudly holds his beaming son. “Daddy is proud of you. #rugby daddy pride.”
