Francois STEYN - South Africa - 2007 Rugby World Cup.

The pictures above show Francois in action during South Africa's 15-6 win against England in the 2007 Rugby World Cup final.

At just 20 years of age Steyn was the youngest member of the side, but he was to more than play his part in the final,

not least when he coolly slotted home a 50 metre penalty to put South Africa 15-6 ahead and virtually home and dry.

Steyn featured in every one of South Africa's seven matches at the tournament and will undoubtedly be remembered as one

of the shining lights at the 2007 World Cup.
