Hannes Venter was one of those provincial players who never had the opportunity to play at a higher level. He was a wonderful player who had electrifying pace (he was a junior sprint champion) and could beat defenders on the outside. He also had a solid left boot and a sound kicking game.
Unfortunately injuries bugged him throughout his short career and he only played a couple of seasons for the Bulls, but he sure did make an impression during that time.
