dbpprop:abstract
  • François Steyn (born 14 May 1987) is a South African rugby union player, who plays for his national team; the Natal Sharks in the country's domestic competition, the Currie Cup; and the Sharks in the Southern Hemisphere Super 14 competition. He was also a member of the winning team of the 2007 Rugby World Cup. He will play the 2009-10 season with French club Racing Métro 92 in Paris. After playing only ten matches for the Sharks in the 2006 Currie Cup, Steyn was, at 19 years old, selected to represent South Africa in the Northern Hemisphere touring squad by national coach Jake White. He debuted at wing against Ireland, he scored a try on debut. In his next international match he was moved to fullback against England, scoring a long range drop-goal, from his own half. Steyn has shown to possess superb goal kicking qualities as well. In his debut season of Super 14 rugby, Frans Steyn was selected on the right wing, however, was moved to fullback when Percy Montgomery was injured. He played as the last line of defence until Percy Montgomery returned for the game against the Blues in Round 11, and was moved to fly-half for this game. He kicked two drop goals in the 2007 Tri-Nations opener against Australia at Newlands Stadium in Cape Town, to win the game for the Springboks. One of these, a 42 metre effort from a fielded clearance kick next to the sideline, and another three minutes from time next to the posts about 30 m out. In South Africa's first game in the 2007 Rugby World Cup, their star centre Jean de Villiers got injured. Steyn replaced him, playing only his second game at professional level at inside centre, but he made a break on first touch of the ball and his inclusion sparked the Springboks to a 37-0 second half demolition of Samoa. On 24 September 2007 Steyn was cited to appear before a disciplinary hearing for allegedly biting Tongan winger Joseph Vaka during the Springboks v. Tonga 2007 Rugby World Cup game on 22 September. Both players were sent to the sinbin in the 60th minute for an off-the-ball incident. He was subsequently cleared of the charge, due to insufficient evidence and Vaka conceding that the apparent "bite mark" could have been received during normal play. Steyn was the starting inside centre for the Springboks in the IRB Rugby World Cup Final, he made a fantastic break that resulted in a penalty for the Boks and also converted one himself later on in the game. He is therefore the youngest player to win a World Cup. In April 2009, Steyn signed a two-year contract with French Top 14 club Racing Métro 92 for an estimated €750 000 per season. He maintains a close relationship with his family especially with his brother Wimpie. Steyn said, 'I love having my family near, it keeps me calm. ' François has recently achieved the feat of kicking the ball almost 100m (bouncing at 80m) during a Super 14 game against the Brumbies. In the Springboks' final match of the 2009 Tri Nations against New Zealand, his last match with the Boks before his departure for France, he converted two penalties from well within his own half of the field and barely missed a drop goal from midfield and near a touchline.
