Cabous van der Westhuizen was a great winger. There, we said it! He wasn’t that popular up north, but that had more to do with his appearance than his ability.
The laid back surfer was a potent finisher and he was one of those players for whom the ball always seemed to bounce right. In our opinion, he was unlucky to never get a test cap, but he did tour with the Springboks in 1994 to New Zealand.
Cabous scored some brilliant tries during his career and will be remembered as a legend of Natal rugby.
