| Notes:
Started playing at King Edward VII. BARELY a year ago Ken Ford was still playing koshuis rugby for Rand Afrikaans University.But a fortuitous display at the recent Transvaal trials elevated him to the number two position in the province.He isnt likely to be given a soft introduction to first team rigours;Kitch Christie is expected to blood him as early as Transvaals current Australasian Super 12 tour."Its all come rather quickly," admits the soft-spoken teaching student.Ray Mordt,Transvaals assistant coach,likes what he sees "If a younger is good enough,you bring him in quickly.Ken is very good,an exciting prospect."Ford,an attacking player in the Hennie le Roux mould,says he enjoys the pressure big-time rugby brings."But I dont want to be another young star who rises quickly and then fades overnight." |
