lang-eng The Springboks 2.0 are finally giving us the feels

JP Pietersen has played his way into becoming a Test regular for the Springboks. His combination with Habana has seen the pair become the most capped wing combination in Springbok history. Four of his international tries came in the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France, shrugging off his tag of not being a genuine try-scorer. Pietersen plays his club rugby with Natal Sharks in the Currie Cup and sister club The Sharks in the Super Rugby tournament.
Shortly after Kevin Pietersen was finally ditched by the England cricket team around a decade ago I sat next to one of his 2005 Ashes-winning team-mates at a benefit dinner.
