Rugby career

McCallum played provincial rugby for Western Province from 1968 until 1972. [3] He then moved to Natal and though he never played for Natal, he was selected for South Africa during the 1974 season. [4]

McCallum's first test for the Springboks was in 1970 against the New Zealand at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. He played in all four tests in the 1970 series against the touring All Blacks. He also played in the test series against France and Australia in 1971 and against the British Lions in 1974. Both he and his brother, Roy, were in the Springbok team for the first Test against the British Lions at Newlands in 1974. McCallum played a further six tour matches, scoring seventy-two points for the Springboks. [5]

In 1974, the British Lions toured South Africa, with matches in South West Africa and Rhodesia. Under the leadership of Willie John McBride, the Lions would go through the tour undefeated, winning 21 of their 22 matches and being held to a draw in the final match, albeit in controversial circumstances. The 1974 squad would become regarded in history as 'The Invincibles' and the greatest ever rugby tour in history.
