Danie Craven, CoetzenburgDanie Craven (aka Doc Craven), a South African rugby legend from the 1930s, is honoured here at Coetzenburg Sports Centre in Stellenbosch.

One of the rugby greats from old, he was arguably the best Springbok coach ever, and has been recognised as one of the world's top rugby administrators. Though not with us anymore, Doc Craven holds a position of great respect in the hearts and minds of South African - indeed even international - rugby supporters.
