The Bulls have paid tribute to Loftus legend and ex-Springbok loose forward Pedrie Wannenburg who died in a car accident in the early hours of Saturday in the US where he was based.
“The former loose-forward had taken up coaching and was a mentor at Austin Elite in Texas at the time of his untimely death. The Vodacom Bulls continue to pray for his son, who remains in a critical condition after being rushed to hospital,” said the Bulls in a statement.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Evette, his children, family, former teammates and friends. A moment of silence will be held in honour of Wannenburg ahead of the start of the Vodacom United Rugby Championship match between the Vodacom Bulls and Benetton Rugby,” said the Bulls.
