Gavin Lawless is a former South African rugby union player.
Playing as fullback, he set a number of point scoring records, including the most tries and most points in a Super 12 match (4 tries and 50 points, for the Natal Sharks against the Highlanders in 1997), the most penalties in a Currie Cup season (48 for Transvaal in 1996), and the most conversions in a Currie Cup final (6, for Transvaal vs. Free State in 1991).
Famous quotes containing the word lawless:
“On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
