Rugby legend Kobus Wiese opens up after recovering from heart attack
Rugby legend Kobus Wiese suffered a heart attack in March.
Kobus Wiese, who was part of the team which won the 1995 Rugby World Cup, suffered a heart attack in March.
Wiese urgently underwent surgery to insert a stent and recovered in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
He was taken to the hospital after he apparently complained of pain in his chest and lungs.

Former team-mate and friend Toks van der Linde said Wiese was subsequently rushed to hospital.
"It was hectic, and I can say Kobus is a lucky guy - I think Kobus is a strong guy, and I think God has given him a second chance," Van Der Linde said.
Wiese sat down with Rian van Heerden and opened up about the traumatic incident.
"I'm just happy the Holy Father gave me a second chance, however, life must go on."
