Fourie went under the knife in early April after an ACL injury with the DHL Stormers against La Rochelle in the Champions Cup, and faces up to six months on the sidelines.
“Deon’s story is incredible. Back when he was at the Stormers, I felt personally he was a bit underrated. He was unlucky not to get a Springbok cap in the first place,” the Test centurion said. “He went to France to finish his career and came back to the Stormers to play a couple of matches off the bench and call it quits.“The Deon Fourie I knew in 2012 when I started at the Stormers, he was always a fighter. Obviously not the biggest man in the room but he has got some dog in him.
“Then Malcolm went down and the plan then was for Bongi to go 80, 80, 80 quarters, semi and final. In the final, second minute I think, he goes down. Just on Bongi, that guy is not the most skillful hooker in the world or the fastest hooker but that guy is one of the hardest men in rugby.
