Werner Willem Greeff has played in all the past eight Springbok tests and recently won the South African 'Try of the Year' award. He cast aside a series of injuries to establish himself with the Stormers last season and impressed new Springbok coach, Rudolf Straeuli. His status as a ulility back enabled him to thrive at fly half in the absence of Chris Rossouw. Was educated at DF Malan High School in Bellville, owns a fast-food franchise and has a golf handicap of four.
