Willem Petrus Nel (born 30 April 1986) is a South African-born Scotland international rugby union player. He plays as a prop for Edinburgh Rugby in the Pro12. He previously played for Free State Cheetahs, Western Province and the Boland Cavaliers.
Nel joined Scottish Pro 12 side Edinburgh in July 2012.
After three years at Murrayfield Stadium, Nel became eligible to represent Scotland in June 2015, and claimed he would decline an invitation to represent his native Springboks in order to do so. He made his international bow against Italy during the 2015 summer Tests, and was subsequently named in the final 31-man squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Nel scored his first international try in the 39–16 World Cup match against the USA.
Hey Beau, let's go and get pirogue and push-pole down the bayou
I want to see the Christmas tree, dance o-fais dodo
Have a big time and cut a shine, where all will be gay-o
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
I'm gonna be at the Christmas tree with my mom chere ami-o
So ring the chimes, it's Christmas time and pick the old banjo
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
See ma Nannan and ma Parrain, I know they'll all be there-o
See Ol' Quelqu'un and Mamoun, Bebe and Jo-Jo
See Jolivet, oh, my sweet pet and get me some sugar
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
So roll the rug, let's kiss and hug and let's all be gay-o
A merry Christmas to you all and a happy bonne annee-o
I'm gonna dance all through the night, 'til daylight with my babe-o
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
Dionne wants a push-y-on, a pistolette and yo-yo
My Jolivet, oh, my sweet pet, Lord cher ami-o
Oh, Auntie Luce will cook the goose, and she will serve the gumbo
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
I'm gonna be at the Christmas tree with my mom cher ami-o
So ring the chimes, it's Christmas time and pick the old banjo
