Cornelius Petrus Johannes "Corné" Krige (born 21 March 1975) is a retired South African[1] rugby union player.
He played flanker for Western Province in the Currie Cup, the Stormers in Super Rugby and captained the South African national side, the Springboks.
[4][5][6] He later admitted in his autobiography that he had lost control as South Africa had gone into the match on the back of two defeats and that he had intentionally fouled the England players.
[7] His Super Rugby career then ended several weeks early when he was handed an eight-week ban for head-butting an opponent in 2004.
The testimonial highly benefited Reach For A Dream,[9] a charity similar to and inspired by the Make-A-Wish Foundation in the United States.
