Rugby: Rassie says retired Kitshoff was a true team man

# Rugby: Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus described prop Steven Kitshoff as a true team man after he announced his retirement yesterday. The 33-year-old was forced to call it quits due to a serious neck injury. Kitshoff played 83 Tests for South Africa since his debut in 2016 and is a two-time World Cup champion. Erasmus says he earned enormous respect from his team-mates and coaches because of his high work ethic, and will always remain a fine ambassador of what the Springboks stand for.
