Demonstrating remarkable resilience, he underwent successful surgery and rehabilitation, returning to the field in 2007. His comeback was crowned by being part of the Springboks squad that won the Rugby World Cup in France that year, reinforcing his status as a key player in international rugby.

He played for the Stormers in Super Rugby, Suntory Sungoliath in Japan’s Top League, and later for Saracens in the English Premiership, contributing to their domestic and European successes.
