General Info Edit Francois 'the little pocket battleship' Hougaard is an obvious talent who has obliterated the very best opposition with outstanding running, vision, and on occasion thumping defense.  While he's played some blinders on the wing, he is equally capable at the base of the scrum wearing the 9 jersey and that has typically been his regular post. Hougaard has played all his Super Rugby with the Bulls, tasting championship success in 2010.  His provincial rugby started with Western Province, but after only one year he moved to the Blue Bulls where he won the Currie Cup in 2009, and he has remained ever since. His test career began in 2009 with the end of year tour to the Northern Hemisphere, in which he played on test against Italy and two other touring matches.  His time in the green jersey wasn't consistent until 2012 where he played in every game of the Rugby Championship series. Take a look at these highlights to see the havoc this wreaks:
