About Gurthrö Steenkamp
Born 1981. Gurthrö Steenkamp is a South African rugby union player.
Gurthrö Garth Steenkamp (born 12 June 1981 in Paarl) is a South African former rugby union player. He played loosehead prop for the Free State Cheetahs (Currie Cup) the Bulls and the Cats (Super 14). He made his debut for the Springboks in late 2004 against Scotland.
During the 2005 Tri Nations he seemed to have cemented his place in the Springboks with a strong performance against the Wallabies at Ellis Park. A broken hand at the end of the tournament stalled his career for the Springboks. Over the next couple of years he battled with injuries until making a successful return to Super Rugby and the Springboks in 2007. He was selected to represent South Africa at the 2007 Rugby World Cup. He also won the 2010 South African player of the year. He also played all five matches for South Africa at the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
