Biography

Tokkie Scholtz was a Stellenbosch forward who played two Tests on the 1921 tour of New Zealand, the 5–13 loss in Dunedin and the 9–5 win at Eden Park. Born in Somerset West on 29 August 1891 and educated at Paul Roos Gymnasium, he played for Western Province. Many felt he was unlucky to miss the 1912–13 tour. He later became a wine farmer and rugby administrator. He died on 8 April 1959.
