He played flanker for South Africa (the Springboks) from 1993 until 1996, winning 29 international caps, all of them as captain. He is best known for leading South Africa to victory in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. After being dropped from the Springbok team in 1996, Pienaar went on to a career with English club Saracens. ==Life and career== Pienaar〔The progenitor of the Pienaar name in South Africa was a French Huguenot named Jacques Pinard. The spelling was localised as a result of maintaining the French pronunciation. SOURCE: Lugan, Bernard (1996). – ''Ces Français qui ont fait l'Afrique du Sud''. (Translation: ''The French People Who Made South Africa''). – ISBN 978-2-84100-086-9.〕 was born in Vereeniging, South Africa into a working class Afrikaner family, the eldest of four boys. After completing high school at Hoërskool PatriotWitbank, he won an athletic scholarship to the Rand Afrikaans University, where he studied law. He made his provincial debut for Transvaal Province in 1989 before being selected for the South Africa squad in 1993. He was appointed Springbok captain from his first test and remained captain until his last, and remains one of the most successful South African captains of all time. In 1993 Transvaal won the Super 10, Currie Cup and Lion Cup under Pienaar. In 1994, Transvaal retained the Currie Cup under his captaincy and he was voted international player of the year by Rugby World magazine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francois Pienaar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
