Playing career

Rossouw finished his schooling at the Hoërskool Jan van Riebeeck in Cape Town, where after he moved to Pretoria to study at the University of Pretoria. He joined the University's rugby club and made his provincial debut for Northern Transvaal. In 1953, Rossouw relocated to Stellenbosch to further his law studies at Stellenbosch University and was he selected to represent Western Province.

Rossouw made his test debut for the Springboks in the third test match against the touring Australian team, captained by John Solomon on 19 September 1953 at Kingsmead in Durban. [2] Rossouw's selection for this third test match was as a replacement for Tjol Lategan, who injured his shoulder in the previous test. He also played in the fourth test against the Australians and was set to continue as Springbok centre in the upcoming series against the British Lions. However, he decided to retire from rugby in the mid –1955, at a relatively young age of not yet twenty–five.[3] Rossouw scored one test try for the Springboks.

gollark: You may only ask dishonest questions.
gollark: VPNs prevent ISPs from seeing all this except possibly to some extent #3, but the VPN provider can still see it, and obviously whatever service you connect to has any information sent to it.
gollark: Anyway, with HTTPS being a thing basically everywhere and DNS over HTTPS existing, ISPs can only see:- unencrypted traffic from programs/services which don't use HTTPS or TLS- the *domains* you visit (*not* pages, and definitely not their contents, just domains) - DNS over HTTPS doesn't prevent this because as far as I know it's still in plaintext in HTTPS requestts- metadata about your connection/packets/whatever- also the IPs you visit, but the domains are arguably more useful anyway
gollark: On my (GNU/)Linux computing devices, which is all of my non-portable ones, I run dnscrypt-proxy, which acts as a local DNS server which runs my queries through DNS over HTTPS/DNS over TLS/DNSCrypt servers.
