DEON Fourie has been one of rugby's great competitors and a warrior who has defied Father Time, but he has admitted that at 39-years old, and with his arm in a sling following a torn bicep, it could be game over.

Fourie told Independent Media, 11 days after surgery to reattach his bicep to his bone, that he is weighing up his future.

Fourie smiled ruefully: “I'm working through the seven stages of grief. I'm still processing what has happened.”
