Classify South African rugby players

**Loki** · Sunday, October 12th, 2003

This is probably an average look for Boers/Afrikaners in South Africa. I have picked a few random rugby players. Admittedly, these ones are obviously more broad-necked and more muscular/masculine than the average, since they are career rugby players.

Richard Bands

Christo Bezuidenhout

Bakkies Botha

Danie Coetzee ---> obvious non-white admixture?

Werner Greeff

Corne Krige

Louis Koen

Jorrie Muller

Faan Rautenbach

Johann van Niekerk

Barry de Wet

Schalk Burger

Neil de Kock

Jaque Fourie

Derick Hougaard

Stefan Terblanche

It's pretty obvious that they are mostly Borreby, some with Nordoid admixture.
Danie Coetzee.....no clue.

These men are all overtly white, with the exception of Muller (something looks amiss) and Coetzee (only God knows).

That is not impossible, although I cannot dismiss the idea that these rugby players' ruggedness might erroneously give a Borreby impression. As I've said, the ordinary population is not so broad and muscular

(I for one am not

)

Some of the English team are quite impressive!

I would not have guessed him to be an Englishman. He looks Scandinavian.

I guess all these guys are UP, mostly Borreby.

The reason why someone chose them to be football players probably was because of their large physiques, a thing UP's have genetically.

The predominant impression is robust UP, coupled with a more gracile element which seems to be of Keltic and Atlantid inspiration. Are you sure Coetzee isn't a Colored? Is he someone who would be considered White in South Africa? Muller seems to have a low-rooted nose and swarthy skin, which make him somewhat suspicious, but then again, that could just be the lighting.

You are right. I don't know where Coetzee comes from, but he looks highly suspicious. He may be a Coloured. I don't know any other white Boers who look as suspicious racially as him.
