\"NewsGRichman Gora from the Griffons has been named the Coca-Cola\u00ae Hero of the day for day one of the U18 Coca-Cola\u00ae Craven Week.<\/span><\/p>\n

The prestigious Coca-Cola\u00ae Hero of the Day award is presented on each day of the tournament in recognition of a game changing \u2018hero\u2019 moment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Richman was selected for the award by a Coca-Cola appointed panel of rugby experts after two brilliant moments in his game against the Cheetahs. The first moment was in the 7th minute of the game, whilst the Cheetahs were on the attack and camped on the Griffons 5m line. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Griffons turned the ball over and broke down the left wing, Richmond managed to sidestep his opposite number and run through the cover defense before handing the ball to gift Dlamini to score. The second moment came in the second half when he chipped the ball behind his opposing wing, collected the ball and then chipped the ball cross field for Siya Nxgesha to pick it up and score.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘It is an honour to win this accolade, I play every game as if it is my last and do everything I can to help my team, if I win an award it is just an added bonus,’ said Richman.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fetsi Mbele, Coca-Cola South Africa\u2019s Senior Communications Manager: Brand Experience commented, \u201cCongratulations to Richman Gora on being selected as Coca-Cola\u00ae Hero of the day for day 1 of the Coca-Cola\u00ae Craven Week. At Coca-Cola\u00ae we believe that it is essential to put platforms such as the Coca-Cola\u00ae Youth Weeks in place for players of all ages to reach their full potential. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Coca-Cola\u00ae Youth Weeks are Where Heroes Are Made and for many of the players here this week, this is just the beginning of a future in the game. I look forward to following the likes of Richman as they carve out a career for themselves in South African rugby\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to awarding the Coca-Cola\u00ae Hero of the Day to players at the u18 Coca-Cola\u00ae Craven Week, Coca-Cola has taken the \u201cHero of the Day\u201d concept to social media!* <\/span><\/p>\n

As an acknowledgement of the massive role that schools play in the development of South Africa\u2019s future rugby heroes, Coca-Cola is searching for South Africa\u2019s ultimate school rugby hero. Whether it\u2019s the star flyhalf, a dedicated supporter or the u13 water boy, they want to know their story. The winner and their school will be awarded with amazing rugby related prizes.*<\/span><\/p>\n
