Tributes are still pouring in from all over for late Springbok and Bulls scrumhalf Joost van der Westhuizen, who lost his long battle against Motor Neuron Disease (MND) this week.

A public memorial service will be held at Loftus Versveld on Friday to honour the South African rugby icon.

SA Rugby has also called upon supporters to wear their green and gold gear on Friday, in remembrance of Van der Westhuizen.

The Bulls are on a pre-season tour in Brisbane, Australia, where they were scheduled to meet the Chiefs in a pre-season Super Rugby friendly, after which they are scheduled to take part in the Gold Coast 10's tournament.

Bulls head coach Nollis Marais and team captain Handre Pollard sent a personal tribute to Joost from Australia shortly after wrapping up a tough training session.
