Suzuki Griquas produced a dominant display at Suzuki Stadium on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Leopards 101–7 to open our 2026 SA Cup campaign in emphatic fashion.
Some players lead with words. Others lead with work rate.
Willem Jacobus “Jac” van der Walt falls firmly into the second category.
Born on 23 June 1998 in Port Elizabeth, Jac has carved out his rugby journey through consistency, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to the team cause.
Rugby players often carry nicknames, but few carry one with the weight of family history. For Albert Liebenberg, known affectionately as “Viervoet” or “Alla”, the nickname is more than a label — it’s a legacy passed down through generations.
In a position where toughness and precision are non-negotiable, Janco Uys has established himself as a dependable and respected figure in the Suzuki Griquas pack. As a hooker, his role demands physical commitment, technical accuracy and leadership — qualities that Uys continues to deliver with consistency.
Griquas Rugby is thrilled to celebrate two of its finest being recognised on the national stage at the 2025 SA Rugby Awards. George Whitehead and Gurswin Wehr were both nominated for the prestigious Carling Currie Cup Premier Division Player of the Year Award, underlining their outstanding contributions to our campaign this season.
Speed, instinct and the ability to turn nothing into something — Cameron Hufke brings all of that and more to the Suzuki Griquas backline. Operating at fullback, Hufke has developed into one of the most exciting attacking threats in PouBlou, capable of changing a game in a single moment.
Whether counter-attacking from deep or finishing in space, he plays with confidence, precision and pace that keeps defenders guessing.
If there’s one thing every championship team needs, it’s raw power up front — the kind that shifts scrums, dents defensive lines and sets the tone for 80 minutes. For the Suzuki Griquas, one of the newest sources of that power comes in the form of Ebune Moango Ngundue, affectionately known as “Mango” or “Baby Rhino.”
A prop with huge potential and even bigger heart, Ngundue arrives in Kimberley ready to take his opportunity and make his mark in Peacock Blue.
The Suzuki Griquas’ development partnership with the DHL Stormers continues to deliver meaningful opportunities for player growth, with the latest example being Dylan Maart’s loan move to the Stormers for the United Rugby Championship (URC).
The partnership, which focuses on player and staff development, creates a structured pathway between Currie Cup rugby and the URC. It allows Griquas players who have proven themselves at domestic level the chance to test their skills in one of the toughest club competitions in world rugby, while ensuring both unions benefit from shared depth and experience.
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.
