Career Summary |
Bennie Osler was a gifted fly-half and controlling influence in an unbroken run of 17 test matches for South Africa between 1924 and 1933. Famed for his immaculate touch kicking, he also won many matches for Western Province and the Springboks with brilliantly improvised drop-kicks. In 1931-32 he captained the Springboks on their 26-match tour of the British Isles which included a grand slam of test victories over England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. |
