Frans Steyn is a South African utility back born on 14 June 1987 in Aliwal North, legendary for his extraordinary long-range kicking ability that can threaten from anywhere on the field. He won his first Rugby World Cup medal as a 20-year-old in 2007 and remarkably returned 16 years later to claim a second winner’s medal with the 2023 squad, one of the longest gaps between World Cup victories in rugby history.
