RIP Joost van der Westhuizen

I always had him down in the top 3 scrum halfs of all times........possibly the best

I only saw one better No 9 and that was Gareth Edwards, sad loss.

yes KK but he would have run him close

Agreed, it's probably because I saw more of Gareth Edwards in the 5 nations, as it was then, and lions tours.

horrible disease

think josh giffords brother macer died of it

Absolutely shocking to read this, only 45 and as cardifffc said I would have had him in the top 3 as well of all time scrum halves. What a wicked illness that is, so sad.
