Scotty Nguyen will be visiting South Africa for his first time and appeared excited in a recent interview with Sport24.co.za where he was quoted saying “You know, the Prince has been all over the world baby! Australia, Asia, Europe, but this is my first time going to South Africa and I’m excited to come and share this great game we love with the players.
“(I’m looking forward to) getting to know them and having a good time – just make sure the people at the Emerald protect me from any lions and I promise you we’ll have a lot of fun baby!”
