“Morné Steyn’s contract has been extended to June 2023! This product of Sand du Plessis HS in Bloemfontein’s value as mentor and player is immeasurable.A true Vodacom Bulls and Springbok legend of his generation!,” tweeted Strauss.

With Steyn having recently retired from Springbok duty, the union will have Steyn’s undivided attention until the month before he turns 39.
He represented the Springboks in 68 Tests between his 2009 British & Irish Lions debut in Durban and his final appearance against Argentina in Gqeberha in August.
Steyn will forever be remembered for nailing two penalties that sunk the British & Irish Lions, 12 years apart.
In 2009, after helping the Bulls win their second Super Rugby title, he kicked the match-winning long-range penalty in the second Test at Loftus Versfeld.
