Louis Babrow (24 April 1915 – 26 January 2004)[1] was a South African rugby union player and medical doctor.
[4] Babrow attended, and played for, Grey College, Bloemfontein and the University of Cape Town in South Africa, as well as Guy's Hospital in England, where he finished his medical training.
[2] In 1937, Babrow faced the dilemma of whether or not to play a game against New Zealand on Yom Kippur, a Jewish holy day.
[5] He recalled that some members of the Springbok party were Greyshirt sympathisers, but that he never experienced anti-semitism on the tour.
Babrow was a lifelong opponent of apartheid, campaigning for the release of Bram Fischer, the radical lawyer, and against the whitewashing of the Steve Biko affair.
