As far as I know he is still contracted to play for La Rochelle - but he has not been in their team for the past three months as far as I could make out,  


I checked the internet and all I could find is that he is into a Keto fitness program and even advise people on following the program.   According to photos he looks more like a body builder than a rugby player.


Is he still on contract with La Rochelle?    As far as I know he went to La Rochelle on a three year contract and his contract is likely up at the end of the present Top 14 season.   


Is he injured or has he just given up on playing rugby?

He was still a weakling regardless of how much creatine he takes. Just a wimp that was more at home as a carpet that is run over or as a handbag that is carried at will.

His passing game was diabolical, perhaps the worst distributor of the ball in SA rugby. He was a small wing at best.

@SB. Welcome. You have just joined the club of the rugby ignorant. Here is what your opninion of Jordaan should be to be released from the club of the rugby ignorant: “Posted by: clevermike (33925 posts) Jul 12, 2012, 06:37 Paul Jordaan is my favourite selection as a future Springbok - I really have a very high opinion of him. ”

Hahaha.....watching Tokkie trying to excuse Jordaan when he was run over by Kearan Reid to settle the Super Rugby final, was classical.

SB

In 2012 Jordaan in Super Rugby  made 58 tackles and missed only 4 -  go and check the figures yourself and see whether that was the case.   Not a player to get run over at all.   At the time he had the best defensive stats of any center in Super Rugby in all participating teams.   Try again and come up with facts please.

Vlag you missed the best parts of that Tokkie post: 'Paul Jordaan is my favourite selection as a future Springbok - I really have a very high opinion of him. Thank you for the pic SAFFEX - he is now my desktop background pic. I am waiting for a similar pic of Du Toit and then alternate them on my desktop - or put it on my new laptop.'

I remember that. Both Saffex and Clevermike had the topless Paul Jordaan as their desktop screens...

However if memory serves me correctly, Saffex removed Jordaan when Robbie Freuen recorded the most clean breaks running over a single player. Jordaan became Freun's mantle place carpet as a collectors item

... a little muscle doesn't make for a quality rugby player.

Jesse Kriel is a fine example of that.

Talent ... skill ... are much better options to look for than a nice pair of guns.
