Bulls prop Matanzima’s star steadily rising

Bulls prop Matanzima’s star steadily rising: Bulls prop Simphiwe Matanzima is relishing the extended time he is getting on the pitch as it is helping him grow and become a better player.

Matanzima was marked as a great prospect by the Bulls at the start of his career. He moved through their age group systems and is now with the first team. The 25-year-old is firmly in the plans of Bulls director of rugby Jake White and part of the greater squad for the United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup.

Matanzima is happy to be playing rugby after back-to-back injuries. A dislocated shoulder and torn Achilles tendon in 2020 and 2021 almost ended his career. “I can feel that I’m growing and getting better with playing more rugby. I’m just happy for that growth. Being injured for a while with a potentially career-threatening injury, you learn to not take it for granted.

Matanzima’s progress was rewarded with an SA ‘A’ call-up during the Springboks end of year tour. The call-up was a step closer towards his goal of playing for the Boks.
