Ethienne Reynecke fighting for his life in intensive care
By Online Editors
Former Stormers, Saracens and Connacht hooker Ethienne Reynecke is fighting for his life in hospital because of a blot clot on the brain.
Reynecke, a television rugby analyst and a celebrated rugby player, suffered a stroke last week Thursday.
The latest news on Reynecke, 36, is that he is improving but he is still being kept sedated.
After retiring from rugby, he became a mixed martial arts fighter.
Reynecke played more than 150 first-class matches – including 40-odd for the Lions, 40-odd for Connacht and 20-odd for Saracens.
He also represented the Stormers, Western Province, Cheetahs and Pau.

I can’t speak for Stuart, but the WB process has been dragging on for a fair while now… and I know he’s had three other solid offers in the meanwhile to coach at club/provincial level.
His ultimate aim is to coach at international level again.
Go to commentsThe debate was in the context of the Lions squad. Multiple club and national coaches have chosen him (considerably) more often at 7, so there’s enough people fancy he’s good in the role.
The win rates are vitally important for this Lions tour. ‘01/’05/’09 were losses. ‘17 was a draw and ‘21 was a utter disgrace that stained the game. And a loss. They’ve won one test series in 24 years. And just 12 months ago people were worried about how uncompetitive Australia might be. Talk about added pressure.
Farrell is a straight forward, no nonsense type of guy. He’ll probably pick conservatively and with guys in their proven positions. He hasn’t the time for bolters or shock calls. Not with the touring schedule they have.
You haven’t remotely offended me, chief. Not at all.
