VIDEO: 'No regrets' for fearless Hanekom
WATCH as Bulls loose forward Cameron Hanekom opens up on his mindset regarding injuries heading into the business end of the United Rugby Championship.
The one-Test Springbok delivered a standout performance against the Stormers on February 8 as the Bulls clinched a famous and rare win in Cape Town.
However, the 22-year-old was absent the following week against the Sharks where it was confirmed that he suffered a bruised leg.
He made his return against Leinster on March 22 but was ruled out again the following week against Zebre with a tight back.
Hanekom has enjoyed solid game time on tour with the Bulls and despite all his recent injury setbacks, he has no intention of compromising his game.

“Every game you’re going to get bumps and bruises. Some of them harder than others,” the Bulls loose forward said.
“Getting into the back end of the [URC] competition, [I’m] trying to focus on recovery a lot and try and get the body ready for every weekend.
“You never know when it’s your last game, so you have to go out there at every opportunity you get and do your absolute best.
“If I get injured in a game, I must know that I at least gave it my all and there are no regrets.”
