    Such class De Villiers. A man who believes in the spirit of rugby and not the politics of rugby. Enjoyed watching him play growing up, and I'm kiwi.

    JDV sportsmanship in the 2013 game was wonderful. He could have taken a completely different course of action and legitimately won the championship but he chose to be a gentleman and let Coles play on. That game is probably the best test match I have ever seen and as an ABs fan I think JDV has a massive part to play in the awesomeness of the occasion. Huge respect for him. Such a pity he got injured so many times at World cups but that does not detract from a brilliant career. Much love from NZ.

    I heard - that apparently = hearsay. But the story goes that Ma'a lived in the same street in Wellington as a child who was very ill and needed a lot of expensive specalised care, and one day Ma'a turned up at their house with a boot load of stuff, signed jerseys and things like that - that helped family hugely both financially and emotionally with their son's unfortunate plight.
