Emirates Lions flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse is just 21 years old, but already he has experienced more as a player than many of his more aged teammates.
Gifted as a schoolboy talent, Hendrikse scaled every height in schoolboy rugby, quickly made the transition to the South African national youth teams and was winning South Africa international tournaments as an 18-year-old.
It was his first major setback as a rugby player, but the 21-year-old sought positives from the break and vowed to return stronger and better for the experience. It was also an immediate reminder at how quickly it can all end. What came a couple of days after the interview was Hendrikse delivering the calmest and cleanest kicking display to inspire the Lions and turn a 21-10 deficit into a 23-21 win against Irish powerhouse Munster.
Hendrikse made that statement in the week of the Lions win against Munster when he kicked the winning points.
