Springbok prop Steven Kitshoff has entered a new phase of his life after he was forced to retire because of a neck injury.

The popular loose head prop sat down with the hosts of 'To The Last Drop' (TTLD) and explained what the next phase of his life might entail. Kitshoff reflected on a career that saw him play in 83 Tests and collect two Rugby World Cup medals.

TTLD also previews the Sharks' clash against the Lions as well as this weekend's Six Nations matches, in particular Ireland's match-up with France in Dublin.

The Stormers' scrum will come under intense scrutiny when they clash with the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday, agreed 'To The Last Drop' hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel. The last time the teams met the Stormers back pedalled in that facet and a repeat of that kind of retreat will almost surely put paid to their chances of advancing up the points table this weekend. The Stormers are in 10th spot on the URC log and apart from a win that will sustain their challenge for a place in the top eight, victory for the visitors will be a boost to morale.

The Lions find themselves in similar territory and though they are at home to the Sharks they will start underdogs. They Sharks are adept at winning at altitude and they may bring some of the Springboks along for the ride.

The Lions cannot be underestimated Vodacom Bulls' director of rugby Jake White argued ahead of Saturday's Jukskei derby at Loftus Versfeld. White is wary of the Lions after their win over the Stormers but the hosts of 'To The Last Drop' argue the home team will be better suited to the expected inclement weather on Saturday.

They reminded the Lions could leapfrog the Stormers on the points table with a win on Saturday, while stressing the Bulls need to back up their forward grunt with better game management.

Hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel also look at the mouthwatering fixtures awaiting fans when the Springboks go north of the equator in November.

Phepsi Buthelezi and some of his younger teammates have been inspired by the strong Springbok contingent in the Sharks squad. Buthelezi, an energetic flank who played one Test for the Boks last year, believes the high number of Test stars in the Sharks' ranks has had a positive impact on the squad.

Buthelezi told the hosts of 'To The Last Drop' the Sharks are ready to meet the stiff challenge likely to be presented by the Vodacom Bulls in their URC derby clash in Pretoria on Saturday. He also proudly spoke about his hometown Hluhluwe in northern KZN and what it means to him to represent them.
