RHP#129. Corné Krige, ex-Springbok Rugby Captain, International Keynote Speaker

Corné Krige, is a former South African Springbok rugby captain. These days he is a family man and a successful business owner. Corné played professional rugby for Western Province, the Cape Town Stormers, and Northampton Saints, having retired in the 2004-2005 season. 

Corné now runs an outdoor advertising company with his wonderful wife, Justine.
