Meet the Boytjie:
Name: Dino Driussi
Position: The wheelbarrow or the Hungry Seagull. For rugby: Centre/wing and warmer of the bench
Height: 183cm
Weight: 96kg
Speed: Speed to weight ratio has been compared to that of a Marlin; or a Hummer (not sure which it was)
Skills: An amazing sense of smell. I also command a wealth of knowledge in the area of music trivia of the 80’s and 90’s
Party Trick: Hugh Bladen impersonator. I also possess an uncanny ability to creatively offend other people’s mothers
Best moment of the season: In the final of the Reserve League against Durbel, Driussi took offence to a rather dangerous tackle on one of his backline colleague. Driussi promptly took the offending player by the scruff of his neck and politely shared his grievance with the young lad. For his efforts he received a punch to the back of the right ear from the opposition fly-half who appeared from nowhere and disappeared just as quickly, and thus took one for the team.
The only problem was – this all took place while he was on the sideline as a sub
In the off-season: I train to be a cage fighter, and watch Noot vir Noot religiously
Likes: Pour some sugar on me by Def Leppard, a steel pole and a topless blonde.
Seriously dislikes: being late, bad spelin, Tequila and diarrhoea.
Passionately hates: James Blunt, knifes that are not sharp and people who are impolitely direct.
Daily lesson: If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing (Margaret Thatcher).
Favourite quote: … I’m going to f* you up with some truth. (Kenny Powers)
Boobs n Bums:
My wife gave me permission to use this photo…there is a joke about parking a large vehicle in there somewhere…
Beer:
So there is a Grappa named after me, and I prefer a pint of the dark stuff. But Windhoek is a great beer too…refer to classy photo of the lager captured in a makeshift photoshoot at home using only ice, a torch and Windhoek. Sometimes I am referred to as “the McGyver of photography”
Boytjie:
This is me at my coolest…if you look closely – you can see I blew a smoke ring in the shape of a raven. That’s just how I roll
