Casper Steyn (born 13 September 1973) is a South African former professional rugby union player.
[1] Born in Vanderbijlpark, Steyn was a versatile goal-kicking back and spent much of his career playing for the Blue Bulls, often remembered for his performance against the 1997 British Lions.
He contributed 20 of his team's 35 points, kicking three conversions and three penalties, to go with one try, making Northern Transvaal (as they were them known) the first South African province to beat the Lions in the professional era.
[3] He competed briefly for the Pumas in the Currie Cup, before being forced into retirement in 2006 due to a serious neck injury.
[4][5] In 2010, Steyn survived a near fatal car accident close to his home in Centurion, suffering cranial damage after being flung from his vehicle.
