Francois Steyn is a South African utility back born on 14 May 1987 in Mossel Bay, capable of playing centre, fullback, or flyhalf, and renowned for one of the most powerful kicking boots in rugby history. He made his Test debut aged 19 and won his first Rugby World Cup in 2007, before returning from near-retirement to claim a second winners’ medal with the Springboks in 2019. Steyn could land accurate penalties from inside his own half, a skill that made him a unique weapon across his career.
