Biography

Jannie Engelbrecht was a reliable, quick right wing who played 33 Tests between 1960 and 1969. Born in Cape Town on 10 November 1938 and educated at Paul Roos Gymnasium, he went from the Stellenbosch third team to the first team after one big match and played for Western Province.

He scored eight Test tries, including two against Australia in 1965 and two more in his last Test, against Australia in Durban in 1969. He toured widely, to Britain and France in 1960–61, Australia and New Zealand in 1965, and France in 1968. He later managed Springbok teams and became a wine farmer.
