Every successful rugby team is built on a solid foundation, and for the Suzuki Griquas that foundation starts up front. At loosehead prop, Edward “Eddie” Davids has become a dependable presence — a player who brings strength, stability and consistency to the set-piece and the tight exchanges where matches are often won.

A hardworking front-rower with a calm demeanour, Davids has quietly grown into an important part of the Griquas forward pack.

When you watch Dylan “Bobby” Alexander play, you immediately notice the energy. The tempo. The instinct. The sense that something dangerous might happen the moment he touches the ball.

At just 23 years old, the Suzuki Griquas’ No. 9 has already built a career defined by promise, hard work, and clutch performances — and he’s only getting started.

Every season has a breakout story — a player who arrives quietly, works relentlessly, and suddenly finds himself in the biggest moments of the competition. For the Suzuki Griquas, Thomas “Tom” Nel is that story.

Every so often a player emerges who changes the trajectory of a team — not just by their talent, but by the way they carry themselves, inspire teammates, and deliver when it matters most. In 2025, Mnombo Zwelendaba has become one such player. As outside-centre for the Suzuki Griquas, he’s proven that he’s more than a promising name — he’s a match-winner and crowd favourite.
