Felix du Plessis (24 November 1919 – 1 May 1978) was a South African rugby union footballer and captain of the South Africa (Springbok) team that in 1949 beat the All Blacks thrice in succession, a feat that was not repeated by a South African side until 2009.[1] Du Plessis's son, Morné, also captained the Springboks, the only father-son duo to have done so.[2]
