Biography
André McDonald was turned from a struggling centre into a forward by Markötter, who told him to buy a scrumcap. Born in Murraysburg on 17 February 1909, he played for Stellenbosch and Western Province and won four caps on the flank on the 1931–32 tour, winning all four, against Wales, Ireland, England and Scotland. He died on 13 July 1991.
