  • South Africa Rugby World Cup winner JP Pietersen announced his retirement on Friday at the age of 34. Pietersen, who played mostly as a winger, made 70 Springbok appearances scoring 24 tries. He appeared in three World Cups, collecting a winner's medal at the first, in 2007. He started and ended his career with the Durban-based Sharks and had stints in Japan and with Leicester Tigers and Toulon in Europe. He announced his retirement on social media, saying he was grateful for "such a long career that has unfolded beyond my wildest dreams." "Rugby has changed my life for the better and I will be forever grateful for what this game has done for me." "It will take a while for all of this to sink in, but I'm so fortunate to have been able to represent my country." Former team-mates and opponents quickly responded on Twitter and Instagram. "Legend," posted Springboks Jesse Kriel and Jean-Luc du Preez and former Toulon team-mate and France captain Mathieu Bastareaud. "World class," wrote another Springbok, Warrick Gelant. "Honoured to have played alongside you," posted ex-France centre Maxime Mermoz, who overlapped with Pietersen at Toulon. "Your happiness is contagious!" "Congrats on an epic career," wrote England international Freddie Burns, a team-mate at the Tigers. "Well done on a great haul," said South African born les Bleus scrum-half Rory Kockott, a former Sharks team-mate. mca/bpa/pb/iwd
