Former Springbok Dawie Snyman dies
Former Springbok utility back and legendary Western Province coach Dawie Snyman has passed away following a recent diagnosis of leukemia. He was 76. Snyman, a product of Grey College in Bloemfontein, moved to the Cape to further his studies and rugby career at Stellenbosch University. He went on to earn 10 Test caps for the Springboks between 1972 and 1977, representing South Africa with distinction during a turbulent era in the sport's history. Following his playing career, Snyman left an indelible mark as a coach, leading Western Province to a record five consecutive Currie Cup titles from 1982 to 1986 – a golden era for the union that cemented his legacy in South African rugby. Rugby excellence ran in the family. Snyman's brother, Jackie, also played for the Springboks in the 1970s. Jackie's son Dawie currently serves as an assistant coach for the Stormers. The South African rugby community was quick to pay tribute to Snyman's immense contribution to the game, both on and off the field. Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced in the coming days.
