Bio

Janie du Plessis is the older brother of Bismarck du Plessis, and established himself as the regular tighthead prop for the Springboks side. Despite some early criticism, du Plessis has worked on his technique to become one of the most feared scrummagers in the game. He made his debut for South Africa in 2007 against Australia and made two appearances at the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
