This famous 130 year old sports brand has just appointed our very own distinguished rugby player, Francois Venter as a brand ambassador.  The driven 21 year old has represented the Bulls in Super Rugby and the Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup whilst successfully playing as inside-centre.

Le coq Sportif picked his brain:

When did you know you wanted to be a professional rugby player?

“It was always a dream to be a professional rugby player. My final decision was made when I got an opportunity to come and play for the Blue Bulls.”

Which Le coq sportif rugby boot have you chosen to wear?

“The Comparse is a high-tech boot, launched during the Rugby World Cup in 2011. The design combines lightness, comfort and stability. Depending on the playing filed, I choose between moulded and screw-in studs or blades”

What are your favourite Le coq sportif sneakers?

“I feel very comfortable in canvas and my favourite is the Saint Malo”
