Biography
Edrich Krantz scored the clinching try in the 16–7 win over New Zealand in Durban in 1976, but was dropped for the next Test and had to wait five years for his second cap, against Ireland in 1981. Born in Senekal on 10 August 1954, he was a prolific wing for the Orange Free State. He retired at 27 to concentrate on his medical career.
