AJ Venter is a strong utility forward with exceptional ability who is equally at home in the position of lock or flank. He has a physical approach, is quick to the point of break down and tackles anything in his path. He played a starring role in the Boks' victorious Tri-Nations campaign: the loose trio of AJ Venter, Schalk Burger and Joe van Niekerk made a name for themselves as the best loose-forward combination in the world.
