Before you think you having a bad day,listening to this amazing icon!

[@teisamanukiasalesi683]

Praise God Joost! God is using you to help others. You are inspiring. I grew up watching you play, God bless you and your family.

Amazing player and now playing the second half of his life with the same grace and style. I wish him and his family the very best.

It's so sad to see him in this shape but I wish him the best through-out his life that he sees happiness. One of my favourite players for the boks.

[@jaycon4321]

We love you Joost. Best scrum half ever. It's so sad to see him with moto neurones disease.

[@sakhemkhosana8995]

[@andydurbs]

Wonderful gentlemen 👍🏼

[@RedBullGivesYou1]

Joost is one of the Greatest 9s ever & what an Amazing guy & a Amazing Icon he is for us all

[@Goulpie1]

I am sorry to see him like this- so sad

[@therezaloftus]

so sad this once very strong man just wasted away to nothing R.I.P joost

[@chrismoll6862]

Joost the great

[@chrismoll6862]

Walland was an operational Recce

[@benphillips846]

It is so insulting to medical doctors and researchers when people say God is the only one that can help Joost (or any other person who has an incurable disorder). Get real! Sure, use your religion if it makes you feel better, but don't discredit people trying to help. If you care so much about Joost, help fund his foundation. Do something.

RIP. A horrible disease.
