Former South Africa international fly-half Andre Pretorius has joined the Australian Super 14 side Western Force as their marquee player for next season. The World Cup winner, who has played eight Super rugby seasons for South Africa's Lions, will replace Wallabies fly-half Matt Giteau, who is heading back to the ACT Brumbies. "I believe that their structures and type of coaching can get me to perform at my optimal best," the 30-year-old said yesterday.
