Hendrik (Henno) Mentz born 25 September 1979 in Ermelo, Mpumalanga, South Africa is a rugby union player for the Lions in the Super 14 competition. He plays on the wing. Since his transition from the Sharks to the Lions in 2009, Mentz has been a consistently good player in an overall poor Lions team. Mentz's most notable achievement being his hat trick score against the Queensland Reds at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. This was a large contribution to the 31-20 victory that the Lions achieved against the Reds.
In the early days of his Super rugby career, Mentz set the competition (at the time, the Super12) alight, however Mentz followed this with a poor Currie Cup. Mentz's career took a further hit when he suffered a hamstring injury which put him out of contention for the 2005 Sharks Super 12 squad.
Mentz was capped twice by South Africa in 2004.
