Test caps: 9
Test Debut: Ireland, 2006

Strengths: Steyn's monster drop-goals have become his signature on the world stage. He can slot them from anywhere on the field and from incredible distances. His touch kicking is also superb and is just as dangerous when joining the line and on the counter-attack. He is also quick and elusive while not being afraid to get stuck in the physical department.
Weaknesses: Far too erratic for the team's liking and his inexperience has led to some gulps from the fans in the stands.
Likely headline: 'Young gun gives England the boot'
Did you know?: Steyn is the youngest player to have made his debut for South Africa.
