Stephanus Christoffel Conradie (27 June 1942 – 19 October 1992) was a South African international rugby union player.
Conradie was born in Parow and attended Hoërskool Outeniqua.[1]
While a Stellenbosch University undergraduate student, Conradie was called up by the Springboks as a replacement during their 1965 tour of Scotland and Ireland. The Springboks had a Test match against Scotland remaining and required another fly–half, as Keith Oxlee was injured and the understudy Jannie Barnard was struggling with his hamstring. Conradie had been part of the pre–tour trials and played for the same club as Springboks scrum–half Dirk de Vos. He ended up not being required as it was decided to risk Barnard, so never featured in a match for the Springboks.[2][3]
