Johannes Willem du Toit (born 8 September 1995) is a South African rugby union player for the Stormers in Super Rugby and Western Province in the Currie Cup and in the Rugby Challenge.[1] He has played as a flanker and a lock.
Du Toit was born in Cape Town, but grew up in the nearby Swartland area of the Western Cape. He was selected to represent his local Boland Cavaliers union at both the Under-13 Craven Week in 2008 and the Under-18 Craven Week in 2013.
At the start of 2017, Du Toit moved to Cape Town, where he joined the Western Province Currie Cup team.[2]
Du Toit is the younger brother of Pieter-Steph, also a professional rugby player that represented the South African national team since 2013.[2] The two brothers were contracted to the Sharks at the same time (in 2014 and 2015) before reuniting at the Stormers from 2017 onwards.
