Biography

Os du Randt was a giant loose-head prop who won the Rugby World Cup twice, in 1995 and 2007. Born in Elliot on 8 September 1972, he played for the Orange Free State and won 80 caps over 13 years, retiring as South Africa’s most-capped forward.

He was only 22 when he anchored the 1995 World Cup-winning scrum. After injuries kept him out for several years, he came back to Test rugby in 2004 and was a key part of the 2007 side that won the World Cup in France.
