About Morné Steyn

Steyn has won an Under-21 World Cup, three Currie Cups, three Super Rugby titles, one Super Rugby unlocked, one Tri-Nations, one French Top 14 title and is the only player in history to win two British and Irish Lions series as part of the hosting side. == Playing career == With the Bulls, he was a member of the team that won Super Rugby in 2007, 2009 and 2010. In 2009 and 2010, he was the leading point scorer in the league. In the 2009 semi-final against the Crusaders, he kicked four drop goals, a league record for a single game. From 2013 to 2020, he played in the French Top 14 for Stade Français. He made his debut on 30 August 2013 in a 38–3 win over Biarritz. Coming on in the 60th minute, he scored four points by converting two tries. === South Africa === In early 2009, South Africa coach Peter de Villiers stated his preference for Ruan Pienaar in the Springbok number 10 jersey despite Steyn performing very well in the Super 14 tournament. Steyn was on the replacement bench during the second test of the 2009 British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa, when Pienaar's kicking game disintegrated.
