Answer from Tuesday trivia #32: Pierre de Villiers & Danie Craven, both for Western Province.

Q: Of which player, who was a doctor, was it said, “He makes his own patients.”?

I’ll give you a clue or two:

  • During the 1986 rebel NZ Cavaliers match against the Blue Bulls, after striking an opposition player, the ref said to him,”…Jy’s gellukig ou maat” ["...You're lucky old mate!"]
  • He later became the Springbok team doctor.
