“Absolutely the Best Life”: Springbok Star Franco Mostert’s Wife Gives a Glimpse of Boervrou Life

• Juan-Ri Mostert, wife of Springbok lock Franco Mostert, shared a glimpse of her family's farm life in a joyful Instagram post
• The post captured barefoot fun and muddy outdoor moments at Sous Plaas, drawing warm reactions from fans and fellow rugby wives
• Fellow Springbok wife Rachel Kolisi was among those who responded, calling the farm life content "the dream"

Juan-Ri Mostert, wife of Springbok lock Franco Mostert, gave her followers a peek into a very different world from international rugby stadiums. On 28 October 2026, she posted a series of photos to Instagram that quickly captured hearts across South Africa. The post, shared on her Instagram account @juanrimostert5, was set at Sous Plaas and showed the family soaking up the raw, unpolished joy of farm living.

Muddy feet and warm hearts

The caption read: "Lekkerste memories op @sous.plaas! Hoekom is dit só lekker en satisfying om in daai modder te trap 😝" (loosely translated: "The best memories at Sous Plaas! Why is it so fun and satisfying to step in that mud?"). The images captured what so many South African families know well: children unbothered by mess, bare feet deep in thick mud, and the kind of laughter that only a farm afternoon can produce. Juan-Ri, a mother of four, leaned fully into the moment rather than away from it, something her followers clearly appreciated.
