• Son of late Springbok rugby legend Joost van der Westhuizen, Jordan, honoured his father's memory with an emotional tribute at Loftus Versfeld Stadium over the weekend
• The heartfelt moment took place during the semi-final of the United Rugby Championship, where the Sharks URC and the Bulls faced off at the iconic stadium in South Africa

Jordan van der Westhuizen, the son of late Springbok rugby legend Joost van der Westhuizen, paid a heartfelt tribute to his father at Loftus Versfeld Stadium over the weekend.

Van der Westhuizen was part of the South African team that won the country's first Rugby World Cup on home soil in 1995 but passed away in 2017 after a brave battle with motor neurone disease.

Joost remains an iconic figure in South African rugby history, known for his passion, skill and leadership on the pitch.

Jordan, who turned 21 earlier this year, is also into sports but in a different direction compared to his dad. The young man is a footballer and plays as a goalkeeper.

He is a lifelong supporter of English Premier League side Liverpool FC and has a younger sister, Kylie, who turned 19 a few months ago.

Joost's son Jordan remembers his dad in emotional tribute

Over the weekend, Sharks URC and the Bulls set Loftus Versfeld Stadium alight in the semi-final of the United Rugby Championship. The home side, the Bulls, won the encounter 25-13.

One of the major highlights of the day was captured by van der Westhuizen's former wife, Amor Vittone, who posted a picture of their son wearing a Bulls shirt while representing his famous father.

The Bulls were Joost's home club, and he represented them between 1996 and 2003, as per Wikipedia. Jordan was seen wearing the number 9 jersey, which was the same number his dad wore for both the Pretoria side and the Springboks.

Vittone shared the picture on her official Facebook page and added a lovely caption to it.

"Jordan and friends at Loftus Versfeld Stadium tonight ❤️" the caption reads.

The post from the South African singer garnered a lot of reactions from her fans and followers on social media.
