BY Philip Bendon  ·  Wednesday Sep 11, 2024

Nestled in the heartland of South African Rugby, Bloemfontein’s Grey College has a long and proud tradition of producing top-class sporting talent.

Front and centre of this sporting excellence has been a factory line of international rugby players, with names such as Frans Steyn, Bismarck and Jannie du Plessis, Ruan Pienaar, and Cobus Reinach, who have all walked the hallowed halls of the fine institution.

In a mind-blowing stat, the school has produced a Springbok player in every position throughout the years, and with the likes of recent graduate JF van Heerden, this trend looks set to continue indefinitely.

Following in the footsteps of literal rugby giants, the current crop of talent coming through in Bloemfontein look to have a few real gems amongst them.

One such player who has gone viral this week for an outlandish moment of skill is Ethan Adams.

The dynamic outside centre has caught the imagination of South African Rugby fans over the past few months with his incredible footwork, pace and vision.

Taking centre stage on social media this week, Adams pulled off one of the most outrageous moments of skill at a 7s tournament which left his opponents clutching at thing air.
