Vlok Cilliers: France head coach Fabien Galthie and I played together for Western Province and he contacted me in 2020 to be part of the coaching set-up as kicking coach. For me, it was a no-brainer to accept the offer and it’s an honour to coach together all these years later. At least once a week, Fabien and I share memories of our time playing together for Western Province. After the Scotland game, Fabien and I took a picture with AB Zondagh, who is coaching with Scotland, and sent it to his dad Alan who coached Fabien and me back in the ‘90s. That was quite special. While the Sharks had the most French signings in those days, we had Fabien and Laurent Cabannes with us in Cape Town.
