Anton Coenrad Pitout (born 20 November 1976) is a South African former rugby union footballer.

Life[]

Having previously played for the Bulls and the Cheetahs in Super Rugby, and internationally for South Africa 7s, Pitout joined Irish province Munster in September 2005, despite having an offer from famous French club Toulouse.[1][2] There was much fanfare around Pitout's move to Munster, but his time with the province was not successful, with Pitout managing just 5 appearances during the 2005–06 season, before to join Japanese side Ricoh Black Rams.[3][4]
