Kitshoff sustained the injury during a Currie Cup match and underwent surgery last year. Unfortunately, his recovery did not progress as hoped, and a neurosurgeon advised that returning to play could lead to serious complications. Faced with that reality, he decided to hang up his boots.

Kitshoff's rich rugby career

Kitshoff left behind a remarkable legacy in South African rugby. Since making his Test debut against Ireland in 2016, he became a cornerstone of the Springbok pack, earning 83 caps.

He played pivotal roles in South Africa’s Rugby World Cup triumphs in 2019 and 2023, the British & Irish Lions series win in 2021, and the Stormers’ United Rugby Championship title victory in 2022.

His rugby journey began with success in the junior ranks, as he lifted the World Rugby U20 Championship with the Junior Springboks in 2012. At the senior level, he became the second most-capped Springbok prop in history, behind only Tendai Mtawarira.

His formidable front-row partnership with Frans Malherbe and Malcolm Marx remains one of the most feared in world rugby, with the trio starting 17 Tests together.

Fittingly, both of Kitshoff’s international tries came in away fixtures against Italy, in 2017 and 2022, symbolic of his ability to deliver on the global stage.
