Life
Having previously played for the Template:Rut Bulls and the Template:Rut Cheetahs in Super Rugby, and internationally for South Africa 7s, Pitout joined Irish province Munster in September 2005, despite having an offer from famous French club Toulouse.[1][2] There was much fanfare around Pitout's move to Munster, but his time with the province was not successful, with Pitout managing just 5 appearances during the 2005–06 season, before to join Japanese side Ricoh Black Rams.[3][4]
