Legendary retired Springbok Percy Montgomery took a leap of faith ahead of Saturday’s Tri-Nations Test against the All Blacks, by jumping off Auckland’s SkyTower on Wednesday.

The Springbok kicking coach and former fullback said the SkyJump is definitely a must do for anyone coming to Auckland.

“It’s intense, but I’ve never experienced anything like this before and it’s so awesome seeing the view,” Montgomery said.

“I’ll definitely do it again during World Cup [next year],” he said. 

During the SkyJump – one of the world’s longest land based adventure jumps – Montgomery fell 192 metres in 11 seconds.

Montgomery is in Auckland this week with the Springbok team, as they prepare for the Tri-Nations opener against the All Blacks at Eden Park on Saturday. 

The Springbok team had an open training session this at Onewa Domain on Auckland’s North Shore on Wednesday, where they’ll be based during the World Cup 2011.

    “Monty jumps off a tower”

    Hy vat bietjie lank om dit te doen, maar niks nuuts nie, dit is wat ons van die WP mense verwag.

    Laasjaar na die halfeind in die CB, en hierdie jaar na die finaal van die S14 het daar glo baie WP ondersteuners van Tafelberg afgespring …
