Piet Visagie

Petrus Jacobus Visagie (16 April 1943 – 22 December 2022) was a South African rugby union international.

Visagie, raised in the town of Reivilo, was a mine worker at Beeshoek and played for the local Ammosal rugby club. He went on to represent Griquas in provincial rugby and was a key member of the 1970 Currie Cup winning side.

A fly-half, Visagie was capped in 25 Test matches for the Springboks. He featured in series wins over Australia, the British & Irish Lions, France and New Zealand. The 43 points he amassed on Australia's four-Test 1969 tour of South Africa set a world record for a series. His career ended prematurely at the age of 28 due to a broken leg.

Visagie's younger brother Gawie was also a Springboks representative.
