Louis Johannes Koen (born 7 July 1975 in Cape Town, South Africa) is a South-African rugby union player who played for the Springboks, until 2003, when he moved abroad following the World Cup.
It was this dependable boot that led to his recall to the Springbok team in 2003 after a two-year absence, but following a difficult tournament[1] and South Africa's disappointing exit in the quarter-finals, Koen was signed by Narbonne in France.
After two years dogged by injury, Koen moved back to Western Province as only the second full-time kicking coach in South Africa.
[3] (as of 31 December 2005) In February 2022, Koen, then the South African Rugby Union's high-performance manager, was appointed to assist Heyneke Meyer with the Houston SaberCats.
[4] In March 2023, Koen was appointed interim coach of the South Africa women's national rugby union team.
