Supremely talented player, I really always waited for him to fill boots that he never did. Unfortunately, concussions have forced his hand. Won't forget that penalty from close to halfway a couple of years ago, baby.

I still want to be mad at CJ for starting all this, but taking CJ for the person he is, he would never willfully hurt a player. Patrick was just unlucky with all the injuries.

The heart of a lion but the body of glass...

A real Shame.

UFC! UFC! UFC!

One of my favourite players ever. Nerves of steel, as brave as a lion , great tackler, 80% and above goal kicker and a very humble and caring person.
Its a real shame he had to retire as i felt he still had a lot to give the Springboks.

This makes me want the Springboks to use the remaining gems we have left such as Goosen and Frans Steyn before its too late and we start speaking of them in retrospect.
