Hendrik Grobbelaar (born 8 February 1992) is a South African professional rugby union player, who most recently played with the Шаблон:Rut.[1] His regular position is flanker or number eight.

Rugby career

2006: Limpopo

Grobbelaar was born in Benoni, but grew up in Mookgophong (known as Naboomspruit until 2006) in the Limpopo province. He was selected to represent Limpopo at the 2008 Under-16 Grant Khomo Week held in Ermelo,[2] where he started two of their three matches.

2012–2016: Griffons

In 2012, he was included in the Welkom-based Шаблон:Rut' Under-21 squad for their Under-21 Provincial Championship campaign.[3] He started all six of their matches in the number eight jersey, scoring a try against Шаблон:Rut in a 40–43 defeat,[4] but could not help his side to a victory, as they lost all six matches to finish bottom of the log.[5]

Grobbelaar made his first class debut in March 2013, coming on as a replacement in the Шаблон:Rut' 2013 Vodacom Cup match against the Шаблон:Rut in Polokwane.[6] He made his first start a week later against Шаблон:Rut,[7] but failed to feature for the Griffons for the remainder of 2013. He made a single appearance in the 2014 Vodacom Cup – as a replacement in a 10–49 defeat to the Шаблон:Rut[8] – before making his Currie Cup debut, playing off the bench in the Griffons First Division match against the Шаблон:Rut, helping his team to a 37–32 victory.[9]

Grobbelaar got marginally more playing time in 2015, making three appearances off the bench in the Griffons' Vodacom Cup season before starting against the Шаблон:Rut during the Currie Cup First Division regular season[10] and against the same opposition in their 40–47 semi-final loss a week later.[11]

Grobbelaar made two starts and four appearances off the bench in the Griffons' 2016 Currie Cup qualification campaign, and scored his first senior try in their 101–0 victory over Namibian side the Шаблон:Rut in his third appearance of the season.[12] The Griffons finished ninth, to qualify to the Currie Cup First Division.

2016: Eastern Province Kings

Grobbelaar signed a contract to play for the Port Elizabeth-based Шаблон:Rut in the 2016 Currie Cup Premier Division.[13] He made his EP Kings – and Currie Cup Premier Division – debut in their Round Two match against the Шаблон:Rut.[14] His only other appearance came as he started their rescheduled midweek match against Шаблон:Rut in a 24–47 defeat.[15] and his side eventually lost all eight of their matches in the competition to finish bottom of the log.[16]
