    definatly the most talented scrum half ever to play the game. I remember every time watching him wheh he got the ball you always thought he could make something happen, whether it was wiping a lightening pass or sniping from the base of a ruck, looked always a pest to defend against, has great strength and in broken play he could pop up from anywhere and score a try.
    it's heartbreaking to see what MND has done to him, but it is also inspiring that he's not giving up and he's doing his best in life with what he can.
    True legend Joost!!

    As a Welshman, he was always one of my favorite players. I was devastated to see him like this 😢

    I couldn't watch the whole of this. Tears welled up in my eyes. A great competitor on the field reduce to this by a cruel, cruel disease. Absolutely heartbreaking. He was one of the greatest scrum-halves of the game - a complete 9 - and an inspiration to South Africa and those who remember him. Your feats will never be forgotten, regardless of the Motor Neurone's progress. I wish you all the best and will always remember you during your prime.

    Certainly the greatest scrum half ever and one of the greatest players of all time. He faced his illness with the same courage he has on the pitch. Simply, a wonderful,wonderful player.
