Lukas van Biljon (born 18 March 1976) is a South African former rugby union international.[1]
Born in Bloemfontein, van Biljon attended Welkom-Gimnasium and represented the Springboks in 13 Test matches between 2001 and 2003, mostly as a hooker. He was considered a likely selection for the 2003 Rugby World Cup but was axed from the training squad due to his involvement in a car park brawl.[2]
In 2023, van Biljon suffered stab wounds during a raid on his family farm in Oranjeville, Free State.[3] His father André was shot at close range while trying to radio for help and died of his injuries.[4]
