He was considered a likely selection for the 2003 Rugby World Cup but was axed from the training squad due to his involvement in a car park brawl.[2]
In 2023, van Biljon suffered stab wounds during a raid on his family farm in Oranjeville, Free State.[3] His father André was shot at close range while trying to radio for help and died of his injuries.[4]
