Who Knows how many Rhodesians/Zimbabweans have played for South Africa(SpringBoks)?

Question

Im not sure.

Answer 1

not sure but lots have played for England cricket ,rugby, athletics etc,

Answer 2

Rhodesia used to be one of the better sides in the Currie Cup competition in Southern Africa. Rhodesia is also one of  only seven national sides ever to have beaten the All Blacks in a test, Counties like Ireland an Scotland could never achieve this.

I don't have the exact numbers, but in the earlier days of Springbok rugby, and in the relatively short period that Rhodesians were eligible to be chosen for the Springboks, quite 'n number became Springboks.

Of these the strong front rankers , Chris Koch an Andy MacDonald, come to mind.

Ray Mordt did play for Rhodesia but became a Springbok while playing for Transvaal.

Answer 3

none that i know of because rugby is not played that much in Zim but maybe one day they join our ranges

Answer 4

none

Answer 5

They are separate countries.  Quite possibly somebody took up S.A. citizenship from Zimbabwe.  Its not unknown in sport.

Answer 6

Ray Mordt was from Rhodesia, and I am sure there were more. What a wing, fast, strong, great side step. Remember in 1981 he scored 3 tries in the second test against the All Blacks in New Zealand.
