The Springbok had been open around his desire to stay in Ireland for a sixth season, having become settled in the country since joining Munster in 2020.

The 30-year-old has won two World Cups for South Africa, and is known for his powerful ball-carrying ability. At Munster, he won the URC Championship in 2023, but played just 20 games in four years at Thomond Park.
