His preferred position is at Flanker. Although he was born in South Africa, he is qualified for England.[3] He made his debut for his adopted nation on Saturday 6 November 2010 as a late replacement in a defeat to New Zealand at Twickenham. Known to his team mates as 'Shrek,' Fourie moved to England in 2005 when he signed for Rotherham Titans.
