In a devastating piece of news, former South African Pedrie Wannenburg passed away at the young age of 41 in a car accident. His son is in the hospital undergoing surgery while his wife and daughter just escaped death and got away with injuries. He played 20 gamws for Springboks form 2002 to 2007.
Pedrie was ever-so talented and when he turned it on, wow, he could really play. "He wasn't big into going into the gym and lifting weights, he wasn't an overly explosive player he just read the game really well. A naturally gifted number eight. He contributed an awful lot to the team when he was with Ulster, and very fondly thought of among the players. It's difficult to imagine really. It's such a sudden death it's difficult to comprehend to be honest and I know he'll be sorely missed. He was an honest grafter of a player. He was just a great guy to be around, a warm character always with a smile on his face
