Who is the most famous rugby player in South Africa?

Answer 1

Richard Metcalfe (Scotland) at 2.13m 22 stone Richard is now retired from rugby due to injury

Devin Toner (Ireland) at 2.08m (6'10") is currently (2010) the tallest player in international Rugby.

(Also listed as 2.11m, 6'11" on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devin_Toner)

Luke Chartris (Wales) is listed at 2.06m (6'9") on the Welsh Rugby Union Official Site: http://www.wru.co.uk/19811.php?player=4871&includeref=dynamic

Brent Cockbain of Wales is 2.04m tall.

Tony Buckley of Ireland is 134kg.

(Listed at 130kg and 1.96m in 2010, )

The above two were the two 'largest' players in terms of weight and height playing in the 2008 6 Nations.

Bill Cavubati (Fiji) at 165kg

are the tallest and heaviest players to play at an international level ever.

Answer 2

Sheridan is incredibly strong, I would say Sheridan, Martin Castrogiovanni, Soane Tonga'uiha. Also Bismarck du Plessis is amazingly strong.

Answer 3

Probably Joost van der Westuizen or Os du Randt but of the modern game is a hard one. I'd go with Bakkies Botha, Bryan Habana, Beast, or Victor Matfield

Answer 4

Flippie van der merwe
