Overlooked for much of his playing career, Jannie de Beer was on his 12th cap when he produced one of the most astounding feats in a Test Rugby match, scoring five drop goals against England in the 1999 RWC quarter-final in Paris on 24/10/99. The previous record was held jointly by six men, each of whom had scored three drop goals in Tests. de Beer's career stats are available at http://www.planet-rugby.com/worldcup/players/playerdetail.html/PR/ENG/FLT?_name1=ZDE27&team=SA
