SA Rugby has paid condolences to the family of former South African Rugby Football Federation (SARFF) player, Christie Noble, who has died after a short illness.

Noble’s contribution to South African rugby extended across several provincial unions and generations of players – he enjoyed a distinguished playing career, representing Western Province, WP Liga, Eastern Province and Natal on the wing.

In 1990, Noble was a member of the Natal team that won the Currie Cup for the first time, in the union’s 100th year of existence. Later, he was an assistant coach to the first Springbok Women’s team in 2004.
