[QUOTE="User1245, post: 995131, member: 40986"] Bit of generalisation but it seems when a player is home sick it tends to be an Afrikaner. Both Johan Goosen and Frans Steyn spoke about how they struggled with the French cosmopolitan lifestyle compared to their farm/outdoor lifestyle they had back in South Africa. Obviously not the rule because not everyone comes from a farming background but there's been a quite a few who have even retired early to go work on the family farm. Heck it's even what they call themselves as a group identity. "Boer" which means farmer. [/QUOTE]
