Francois Steyn

Francois Steyn, a versatile back, is famed for his kicking ability, particularly the distance he can achieve, whether aiming at the posts or for touch. The Racing Metro and former Natal Sharks man made his international debut on the wing in 2006, in a losing cause at Lansdowne Road as the Springboks went down 32-15 to Ireland in an Autumn Test. Since, Steyn has gone on to taste World Cup glory in 2007, kicking three points in his side's 15-6 victory over England in the Paris final. His appearance in the Webb Ellis final made him the youngest player ever to life a World Cup.
