  • My favourite Ruben memory… when I was a student, we pulled into the parking lot at Brooklyn Mall and happened to park next to Ruben’s sponsored car. I left a note on the windscreen saying “Hi Ruben. Please sign and put this on the blue Honda next to you” (quite cheeky, I know!)

    Got back to find he had done so. “Rugby groete, Ruben Kruger”.

    Great guy. Rest in peace.

  • Very sad news indeed. The term legend and great player are often overused, however these certainly apply to Ruben Kruger. I watched him as a schoolboy at Craven Week and he was simply awesome. One of the best flankers SA have ever produced. RIP Ruben!

  • “Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.”
    This is a what Ruben Kruger’s wife LIze, said at the time of his death.
    Something we can all take to heart.
    Go well Ruben.
