Hendrik Scholtz Vosloo Muller (Hennie) was the well known springbok rugby captain during the rugby tour to England and France: 1951 and 1952.
Hennie Muller’s Springboks of 1951/52 were a team on a mission. They would go on to complete a clean sweep of victories over the four Home Unions and France, but no single display would match their destruction of Scotland in
the first international of the tour on November 24. In a game that has gone down in South African folklore as the ‘Murrayfield Massacre’, Muller crossed for one of the nine tries that were scored in a vintage display of powerhouse rugby. Offensive in defence and relentlessly slick in attack, the visitors ran out 44-0 winners, a scoreline that was almost unheard of in its day.
Muller’s performance was a master-class of back row play, with the intensity you would expect from a man who admitted that he stopped talking to his wife three days before a Test because he was thinking about what he was going to do during the match.
Before crying tears of joy in the changing room after the game, Muller was chaired off the field by his humbled but gracious opponents.
