Hugh Bladen, who needs no introduction, gave a take on all things rugby. From school boy rugby, to playing for Transvaal as well as the Junior Springboks, Hugh also spoke on some of the legends he was able to witness who played for South Africa. Whilst more and more is being discovered about Hugh's career, is was very interesting to find out that he stopped playing professional rugby at the age of 26.
There is a lot more on Hugh and his career and how he went about becoming arguably the best voice in rugby commentary but he is definitely going to be missed when it comes to listening pure enthusiasm and love for rugby on our television sets.
It is an honour to be able to talk to someone who stayed in the profession for 45 years and carried the spirit of rugby with him everywhere he went.
