Pedrie was a legend of the game and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He initially moved to the US some years ago while still playing. Former team mate at Ulster, Pedrie Wannenburg, has tragically passed away in a car accident.

Former Springbok loose forward Pedrie Wannenburg has been killed in a car accident in Texas, his former South African franchise the Bulls said on Saturday.

"Pedrie was a fun-loving and hard-working man and someone who gave all he had on the pitch, but afterwards always had a smile on his face. "To lose someone at the cusp of the rest of his life with a young family, after a long and storied rugby career is extremely sad and our thoughts are with his wife, Evette, their two children, Isabelle and Francois, as well as his parents and other family members, loved ones and friends during this very difficult time." He also turned out for Irish side Ulster and French club Castres before settling in the United States in 2016.
