legend - and someone who always seemed to find new ways to hurt himself

A great player indeed. And certainly among those whom, as a New Zealander, I most feared.

While he gave everything for his team, he always seemed to be a decent person. As a player he'll be missed.

Interesting to see the tributes flow from Saffers and Kiwis alike.

Speaks volumes about the character of Stirling Mortlock.

As a South African and someone who greatly admires Jacque Fourie (one of the best 13's ever), I must don my hat and say Mortlock may be the best no 13 ever. Loved his rampaging runs. Better than O'Driscoll. One of the few opposition players that I enjoyed even when he was shredding the Boks to pieces. Good on ya, mate. You will be missed

A pain in the arse for all NZ supporters because he was just so damn good at what he did. As the article said his intercept in 2003 really set the tone for the aussies win.

Great player, will be missed

I'll be at Newlands for his last game - and I'm sure the Newlands faithful will show him their loud appreciation when he takes to the field. One of the best players of the 00's. What a legend.

True legend! Always one of the toughest guys around, never took one step back. Hope he goes on to mentor young players. Great example.
