WATCH: A Tribute On Cobus Reinach's Father Shows Exactly Where He Gets His Pace From
- 4583
Cobus Reinach is known for his searing pace having showed off his speed in Super Rugby, the Premiership and at the Rugby World Cup but what some might not know is that he has inherited his speed from his father, Jaco.
Jaco Reinach was a fantastic athlete and held the South African 400m record for many years while he also played on the wing for Free State (Cheetahs) and the Springboks in 1986.
Unfortunately his life was cut short in 1997, but he will be remembered for his blistering speed and also the legacy that his son Cobus has kept going with his brilliant performances for the Sharks, Northampton and the Springboks over the last decade.
