Karl Andriesen

Karl Andriesen (November 23, 1981) is a rugby union player currently playing in the hooker position for Johannesburg Dragons, in the South African Rugby Super League.

Early life
Born in Windhoek, Namibia. Andriesen plays rugby since he was six years of age. As a teenager, he was a prolific flanker, number eight and fullback, but as he got heavier, he could only play as a first row forward (prop or hooker), the position he plays to this day.

Johannesburg Dragons (2014-present)
Signed with the Johannesburg Dragons, on March of 2014, Andriesen became an important player to his position. As noted before, Andriesen, who plays in the hooker position, can play as a prop (whether a loosehead or tighthead prop).

Andriesen never scored a point for the Dragons, but was an important player, especially against Bloemfontein Thunder, at the historic round 05. There, with many tackles on the Bloemfontein players, despite a terrible first half, Andriesen was one of the reasons why Bloemfontein never scored a point after scoring 21 points.
