Since then he has gone on to represent the SA under 19 and u/21 sides, playing at both the Under 19 Rugby World Championship in 2004 and 2005 (of which he was captain). Impressive performances in these tournaments led to more opportunities with the Sharks and over the past few years he has established himself as a regular starter. To date he has picked up four caps for the national side along while also playing in non-capped games against Leicester Tigers and Saracens.
On 12 April 2012 Hargreaves signed a two-year deal with Saracens RFC. He was to link up alongside former Springboks including John Smit, Neil de Kock and Schalk Brits.
He announced his retirement from rugby in October 2016.
