PLAYER WRITE-UP
“Atter”, as he is known to his team mates, became South Africa’s 800th Springbok when he was called up to do duty in the 2008 Castle Rugby Championship (then still called the Tri-Nations). Strauss, who took over the vice-captaincy following a serious knee injury suffered by Bismarck du Plessis against Argentina in Cape Town, is a very strong and experienced hooker and is respected as a leader in the South African game, having captained the Toyota Cheetahs with much aplomb in recent seasons. He scored both the Springboks' tries against Scotland at Murrayfield in November 2012.
