The Leinster lock celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary last year, in November, after they got married shortly after South Africa won the Rugby World Cup in Japan in 2019. The 31-year-old was part of the squad that won the competition and won it again in 2023 in France.
The South African rugby international was part of the Springboks squad that won the Rugby Championship in 2025, and also went unbeaten during the end-of-year tour in the same year. He is currently injured and would not be available for selection during this year's tour.
