Their selection represents a significant achievement for both coaches and is a further acknowledgement of their contributions to Heidelberg Rugby.
The appointments come after a successful campaign for the Berge, who finished second in the Merlin League after a season in which they consistently challenged for a top-four spot. Both Jordaan and Potgieter have been instrumental in the club’s progress, contributing to the team’s preparation, development and overall performance throughout the season.
Their inclusion in the Valke Platteland setup provides an opportunity to represent Heidelberg Rugby at a broader level while bringing their experience and knowledge to the provincial side.
