Joost Van der Westhuizen

Some time ago I did a blog about Joost Van der Westhuizen and wrote about my admiration for his great rugby ability, and now his fight against Motor Neuron Disease.

Below is a link to an interview he has given recently, whilst on a trip to Wales to watch South Africa beat the Welsh at the Millenium Stadium. on Saturday.

For a man who was such a great athlete, and embodied the South African rugby spirit, to see him reduced to this is very sad.

It makes me feel very lucky.
