Biography

[edit | edit source]

Pretorius was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1979.[1] He began playing for the Lions in 2001[3] and served as the Springboks Sevens captain in 2006.[4][5][6][7] In 2007, he was part of the Emerging Springboks team that won the IRB Nations Cup.[8][9]

He played two games for Barbarian F.C. in 2008[10][11] before signing a three-year deal with the Bulls;[3] his debut game was February 14 against the Queensland Reds.[2] The team won the Currie Cup and the Super 14 Final the following year.[12][13] They also won the 2010 Super 14 Final, though Pretorius was forced to sit out two games into the season due to a fractured eye socket.[14][15][16] In 2011, after fourteen years of playing rugby, Pretorius announced he would be retiring due to a back injury.[17][10]
