Louis Ulrich Schmidt (6 February 1936 – 23 January 1999) was a South African rugby union player.
He was the original blue bull. The team name came to be due to his renowned moustache that looked like bull horns.
Playing career
Schmidt played provincial rugby for Northern Transvaal and captained the team on 25 occasions. He made his international debut for the Springboks in the second test match against the visiting team from France, on 16 August 1958 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. His second test match was four years later, when he played in the second test against the British Lions at Kings Park in Durban.
