RIP Springbok legend!

We learn last night that the former Springbok flanker Ruben Kruger past away after losing his long standing battle against brain cancer.
 
1995 Rugby World Cup winning hero, Kruger was forced to retire from rugby in 2000 after it was discovered that he was suffering from malignant brain tumours. He had a long battle with the disease over the last 10 years of his life.

We at BlogSpotRugby would like to express condolences and sympathy with Ruben’s family and friends.
 
The tough as nails flanker has been one of the best players that ever represented the Springboks and his death is a massive blow for the rugby community.
 
Apart from his rugby playing abilities, he has been a superb human being and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

In the words of PJ Powers:

“…we must take our place in history, and live with dignity…”

Something which Ruben most certainly did. RIP Springbok and South African hero…
