Farewell Jean. I know many called for it sooner, but you have been a great servant to the Bok jersey. You stood for everything that is in the Green and Gold.
Loyalty, pride, endeavor and inner strength.

Good luck with whatever life brings your way!
May it be injury free!

Thank you.

Before the end of this WC, Jean will be missed. How badly, whether it will be fatal remains to be seen. But our centre defence will be the key focus in the QFs.  

 Pure class person. Respected and admire by his players and everyone who knew him through rugby.
No more to say except "THANKS JEAN"

 A crappy way for a decent bloke and great player to end his career .
