Dear Joost,I couldn’t stand watching you play. You were the bane of my life. You were the bane of England’s life. Every time you took to the field against my team I knew you would do something to ruin the day. You were faultless in every aspect of the game.
Your balance, vision and guile were peerless. You got under the skin of your opposite man. You were cunning in the extreme. You scored more tries than I care to remember. You were a great ambassador for the game. You were a great captain.
I couldn’t stand watching you play, Joost. And that’s why you are one of the greatest rugby players of all fucking time.
I wish you and your family the best for the coming years.
Kind regards,
M.Rucker
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones.
Degeneration of the motor neurones leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing.
It is a ruthless disease with no cure and causes untold heartache to the sufferer and their family and friends. The Motor Neurone Disease Association funds and promotes global research into the disease and provides support for people affected by MND.
