Danie Gerber Bio

Between 1980 and 1992, Danie Gerber also represented the Springboks. However, because South Africa were in sporting isolation due to issues surrounding apartheid at the time, he found his opportunities at international level limited. As a result, despite the fact his international career spanned over 12 years, he only played 24 times for the Springboks. During these appearances, he scored 19 tries.

Although he only made a handful of appearances on the international stage, Danie Gerber is widely regarded as one of the greatest centres to ever play the game. As a result, he’s been named as South Africa’s greatest ever centre and has been named in a number of ‘all time XVs’.

After he retired from the game, Danie Gerber held a few high profile coaching positions. However, he has largely stayed away from the game and has instead worked in the fashion industry and as an ambassador for heart disease awareness.
