Ladies and gentlemen, there are single Springboks in your area! This list of five eligible and energetic South African rugby players should set your heart a flutter. Check out these boys and one day you could be a Springbok WAG.
Makazole Mapimpi
This Rugby Union winger is one of South African sport's most eligible bachelors, and at 33 years old he may be ready to finally start settling down. Mapimpi has always had a loyal following among South Africa’s female rugby fans, with more than a few attempting to ‘slide into his DMs’ on Instagram to maybe arrange a date. If you do manage to back this Springbok, you will have to keep your wits about you and an eye on his social accounts! He is also a popular player for his work on the pitch, scoring some important tries in the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
Damian Willemse
Springbok’s finest fullback sets hearts racing on and off the rugby pitch. His electrifying pace helps make him one of South Africa’s most popular players, and his dashing good looks help make him a fast mover off the pitch too. At the end of 2022, he was Men’s Health SA’s cover boy, and the magazine flew off the shelves with many South African ladies buying their first-ever copy of the mag to check out the snaps and the story inside. Willemse is a religious man, so he is looking for a wife, not a girlfriend!
Canan Moodie
At barely 21 years of age (born on the 5th of November 2002), Canan Moodie is one of the youngest players on this list. Being a little younger he knows how to work social media, and this has made him possibly the most popular player in South African sports – at least with the ladies. He has nearly 50k followers on Instagram, and more of them are female than male. His posts regularly get 5k plus likes, and many of them come from young ladies giving his athletic frame a heart and a share on their socials. He’s single and certainly ready to mingle, so you might have a fight on your hands to date this single Springbok.
Evan Roos
Here is another young Springbok proving to be a hit with the female fans, as well as being a big hit on the pitch. Since his international debut in July 2022, he has become a much-talked-about player for his versatility and his looks. He will be a big hit in the upcoming Rugby World Cup and is bound to make a few headlines in rugby news during the World Cup, as well as being a hit with the sport’s female fans when the competition begins in September. The first game for South Africa is against Scotland, and Roos can expect to make the starting line-up in that battle.
Jaden Hendrikse
Last but by no means least is another Springbok newbie who is also a highly-eligible bachelor. This player is something of a two-for-one as he has a sporting brother too who is just as handsome – Lion’s player Jordan Hendrikse. Perfect for a double date if you and a friend can manage to meet these two rising stars. Look for him at scrum-half in the World Cup to get a glimpse of this talented young man.
There is more to look out for on the rugby pitch than just tries and tackles. These baller bachelors are capable of plenty of action off the pitch too. Good luck out there and have fun scoring for yourself!
