The hooker Jan de Klerk<\/strong> who packed down next to Roux in the Stellaland scrum of 1974 is one of only a select few players who managed to play in four Craven Week’s (only High School).<\/p>\n

De Klerk was selected for the SA Schools’ side in 1977 but did not get game time in the match against … and therefore was never capped.<\/p>\n
