Percy Montgomery

Percival Colin Montgomery OIS (born 15 March 1974) is a Namibian born-South African former professional rugby union player.

When he ended his international career in August 2008, he held the all-time records for both caps and points for South Africa's national team, known as the Springboks.

[citation needed] On 14 September 2007, Montgomery reached two major milestones in the springboks' second 2007 Rugby World Cup pool match against England.

On 13 May 2003 while playing for Newport, Montgomery was sent off for pushing a touch judge to the ground, and was later heavily fined and given a two-year ban, with 18 months suspended, for the offence of "assaulting a match official".

[5] Percy Montgomery announced his retirement from international test rugby on 30 August 2008, after the Springboks beat Australia 53–8 in their last game of the 2008 Tri-Nations.

[6] In May 2009, he rejoined the Boks, but this time in a coaching role as the team's kicking consultant in the run-up to the British & Irish Lions' tour of South Africa.
