	Os du Randt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacobus Petrus du Randt, better known as Os du Randt (born 8 September 1972 in Elliot, South Africa), is a South African rugby player who plays as a loosehead prop for the Springboks, Central Cheetahs (Super 14), and Free State Cheetahs (Currie Cup).
		Du Randt played for the Cats in Super 12, but moved to the new Central Cheetahs Super 14 franchise after the Free State Cheetahs were moved from the Cats franchise area.
		Du Randt continued to be a key member of the Boks in the following years, and was named by Rugby World magazine as the second-best loosehead of all time in 1999.
