Chris ROSSOUW - South Africa - International rugby matches for South Africa.

Chris Rossouw had a remarkable start to his international career when he was part of the South African team which won the World Cup in what was just his fifth appearance for the national side. Equally remarkably was the fact that he then disappeared off the radar completely in terms of international rugby, missing 46 games over a 4 year period, before returning against New Zealand on 7th August 1999. He is pictured above prior to his penultimate game for South Africa - a 47-3 win against Spain at the 1999 World Cup.
