Chester Williams

Iconic Springbok dies

The death of the winger, who scored 14 tries in 27 appearances for the Springboks including four in a single test, comes just weeks before the World Cup kicks off Japan. He was due to attend as one of the event's past legends.

His fellow wing James Small, another charismatic member of South Africa's title-winning side of 1995 in which Williams was the only non-white player, died less than two months ago.
