Christoffel Gerhardus Mulder (21 May 1939 – 7 October 2023) was a South African international rugby union player.
Mulder was born in Springs and educated at Hoërskool Hugenote.[1]
An Eastern Transvaal fullback, Mulder was a member of the Springboks squad for the 1965 tour of Australia and New Zealand.[2] He gained selection in part due to his skills in wet weather, deemed likely to be prevalent in New Zealand, and was also a back up goal–kicker. His tour consisted of 11 fixtures, but no Test matches.[1]
Mulder was an uncle of 1995 Rugby World Cup–winning Springboks centre Japie Mulder.[3]
