Voor sy eerste skooldag het Ben eers sy troeteldier, Zord, gegroet. (Foto onder). Hy en Zord, ‘n “bearded dragon”, is byna onafskeidbaar. Ben wil baie graag rugby in die skool speel sodat hy goed daarin kan wees om eendag ‘n Springbok-rugbyspeler te word. Hy hou blykbaar niks van die grys skoolbroeke nie, “want grys is ‘n lelike kleur,” sê hy.
