RuggaWorld will be sending a wreath to the funeral. Feel free to add your name. For those interested, here are the details.
This is an official media release from the Blue Bulls Company.
I have omitted personal contact details of individuals personally involved with the arrangements of the funeral but would gladly extend this to guys from this site who plan to attend the funeral personally (mail me on morne[at]ruggaworld[dot]com. Offers of condolences can be arranged with the church directly.
Ruben Kruger’s funeral will be held at the CRC Church in Pretoria at 10:00 on Wednesday the 3rd of February.
The CRC Church is in Pretoria East on the corner of Hans Strijdom and Lynwood.
Our thanks to Ian Schwartz from the Bulls.

Personally, I am planning to send a bouquet of flowers from RuggaWorld to this funeral.
Those interested in leaving a message to include on the card, please feel free to post a (a very short) message to Ruben’s family.
If anyone is planning to go personally, let me know because if we can deliver this personally it would be great.
