Former Springbok loose forward Pedrie Wannenburg has announced his retirement from professional rugby.

The 37-year-old played 20 Tests for the Springboks between 2002 and 2007.


He represented the Bulls between 2002 and 2010, winning three Super Rugby and five Currie Cup titles with the Pretoria-based team.


He then played for Irish club Ulster between 2010 and 2012, before moving to France where he featured for Castres (2012-2014) and Oyonnax (2014-2016).


The burly loose forward then moved to America where he played for Denver Stampede and Austin Elite.


He announced his retirement on social media on Monday, indicating that he would go into rugby coaching.


We will all surely miss his no look passes, blundering overlap f#ckups and knock on's in the tackle.


Farewell to South Africa's second worst loose forward since re-admission.

Blue I thought we'd all be on the same page on this... Pierre Spies was beyond useless We effectively played with 14 players when we took to the field. At least PW had a bit of grunt.

He was lucky to be in the a good era, but he himself was average at best. He tried hard, and at least was not a stupid penalty machine like many Bulls forwards before him.

No Chippo, I thought we'd all be on the same page if it was Watson! Or maybe he was just the most hated loose forward since readmission?

He will no doubt become a coach in South Africa, with a crash ball mentality.

Too true even Egon Musk still looks like a boy from Pretoria to a discerning eye.

Richer and more famous than Harry Oppenheimer at his zenith, so no need to feel sorry for the lad.

Damn Chipps, I had no idea you were so anti-Afrikaans. Elon Musk seems like a decent enough fella. He has a lot cleaner rap sheet than most other business people on his level. It doesn't matter on which side of the climate change debate you stand, his business ethos and principals are commendable. Even if only so as part of a marketing tactic for his businesses.

Funny ... I heard that you can take Chippo out of the bush, but you can't take the bush out of Chippo.

Anyone else hear that saying?

@CC. Spot on. On top of that, it also looks like Chip is stuck with a tough decision. He cannot decide whether to come down on Musk for being from Pretoria or being Jewish.

I saw that.

He's anti Afrikaans and anti Jewish ... and I'm the racist.

I wonder what the poor deluded soul would say when he discovers that his penis pump was designed by a Jew?

It's a hell of a thing to suffer with the dreaded droop and then having to rely on the enemy for a little relief.

Do you think he's given it a name? Probably something like "Mavis" or "Sophie" ...

Relax Chip, I did not take offence. We are way too sensitive when it comes to race issues.
